Selecting Projects and Resources to Import

  1. If you are importing a resource JAR file and want to ensure that all its associated resources are imported, select Include Dependencies.
  2. Note: Include Dependencies cannot be selected if you are importing a full project JAR file or a pre-version 2.6 configuration file.
  3. Click the Open icon to display Advanced Settings for preserving values in the importing system.
  4. When you are re-importing a resource but desire to protect any customization made to the existing resource, select Preserve Environment Variables.
  5. Note: Customizing any references within an existing resource cannot be preserved. See Creating Customization Files.
  6. When you are importing the Global Operational Settings resource or other resources like business or proxy services that contain associated service-level operational settings, and desire to preserve the operational values in the importing system, select Preserve Operational Values.
  7. To prevent overwriting of existing security-related configuration in resources which are being updated, select among the following options:
    1. Preserve Security and Policy Configuration-preserves the security configuration (excluding access control policies) and the references to the WS-Policies bound directly to the service (instead of bound to the WSDL).
    2. For more information, see AquaLogic Service Bus Security Guide.

    3. Preserve Credentials-preserves PKI credentials in service key providers, user name and passwords in service accounts, and user name and password credentials in SMTP Servers, JNDI Providers, and UDDI Registries.
    4. Preserve Access Control Policies-preserves access control policies.
    5. The resource summary information is shown in Table 26-1.

      Table 26-1 Resource Information 
      Property
      Description
      Name
      The name of the project.
      Global resources, such as UDDI Registry information, SMTP Servers, and JNDI Providers, and Global Operational Settings appear under the System project in their respective folders.
      Type
      The resource type, which is Project.
      Expand the Project folder to display and deselect resources.
      Operations
      Displays --- or !Deletions!
      Expand the Project folder to display the operations (create, update, delete) that will be performed on the resources.
      To prevent resources from being deleted, deselect them. Resources are only scheduled for deletion when the JAR being imported is a full project JAR and there are project resources in the importing system that are not present in the imported JAR file.
      References
      Expand the Project folder to display the number of objects that each resource references.

  8. Select the objects on which you want to operate (create, update, or delete).
    1. To display each object contained in the JAR file, expand the folder for the file. The check box associated with each object is selected.
    2. The following resource file details, displayed for each object, are shown in Table 26-2.

      Table 26-2 Resource File Details 
      Property
      Description
      Name
      The name and path of the resource. The path is the project name and the name of the folder in which the resource resides.
      Type
      Any of the following resource types:
      • Business service
      • MFL File
      • Proxy service
      • Service Key Provider
      • XML schema
      • Service Account
      • WS-Policy
      • WSDL
      • XQuery Transformation
      • XSL Transformation
      • JAR
      • Alert Destination
      • JNDI Provider
      • SMTP Server
      • Operational Settings
      • Registry
      • MQ Connection (if available)
      • Split-Join
      Note: If a resource has sensitive security data, an Encryption icon is displayed.
      Caution: If you select a service account or service key provider, you might overwrite existing security data unless you specify to preserve security settings during import. See Importing Service Accounts or Service Key Providers.
      Operations
      Create, update, or delete.
      Resources are only scheduled for deletion when the JAR being imported is a full project JAR and there are project resources in the importing system that are not present in the imported JAR file.
      References
      The number of objects that this resource references.

    3. Clear the check boxes next to the resources that you do not want to import.
  9. Click Import.
