Importing Resources

Use the Import Resources page to import a full project JAR file or a resource JAR file that has been previously exported from another ALSB domain. You can choose to import only a subset of the exported data. If the resource already exists in the importing system, it will be updated. Otherwise, it will be created. Resources are only scheduled for deletion when the JAR being imported is a full project JAR and there are resources located in the same project in the importing system that are not present in the imported JAR file. It will not delete resources which are located in other projects.

You can import resources at the resource level even though they were exported at the project level. For example, even if system resources were exported in a full project JAR file, you can deselect them when importing.

You cannot export users, groups, roles, or certificates when you export a configuration. Therefore, you must create these objects again when you import an exported configuration.

    1. In the File Name field, click Browse to locate the directory where the JAR file is stored.
    2. Select the JAR file, then click Open.
  4. Click Next. Continue in Selecting Projects and Resources to Import.
