After you create an import definition, you can request
an import operation to load Rational® Software Architect model
content onto the Design Management Server.
Procedure
- Go to https://fully_qualified_hostname:9443/dm/web,
and click Import; then, select a project area that has already
been defined.
- On the Request Import Definition page, under Import,
click the Request Import tab.
- Select any of the following check boxes:
- Validate model contents: Runs the import
and validates the contents.
- Reimport and overwrite all resources:
Starts the entire import process again, which can take a long time
to complete. If you clear this check box, only model resources that
changed are imported onto the model server.
- Create snapshot of the entire project after import
completed: Creates a snapshot after the import process
so that you have a view of the project at a specific point in time.
- Click Request Import. The import process begins, and the status page loads.
You can hover over the running process to see an update of how the
import process is progressing. When the import process completes,
you can view the number of resources and elements in the report, as
well as other important statistics that relate to the import process.
Important: The import process can take a long time to complete
based on the size of the model content that you are importing onto
the Design Management Server.
Small models are quick, but model content that is very large might
take hours to complete.
