Import
The Import wizard lets you select an exported file to load. By default, this is a file with an .mdk extension. It shows which projects are being imported, and whether they are overwriting existing projects in your KCM Repository, or whether new projects are added.
Consider the following when importing project exports:
- When importing a project from an older KCM Repository, a number of predefined folders are added to it, such as DIDs, Style Documents, Text Blocks, Forms, Field Sets, and Views. This is similar to the creation of a new project.
- When importing an "Archival or helpdesk" export, the import fails if the project with the same name already exists. To complete the import, rename the existing project.
-
When importing a regular export, the import fails if the project with the same name already exists and contains Changesets created and controlled by an external workflow. To complete the import, delete such Changesets from the existing project. For more information on these Changeset types, see KCM Designer Help.
You can view the export/import history of an object. See Projects.
