Requesting import operations for Design Management Server

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

  1. Go to https://fully_qualified_hostname:9443/dm/web, and click Import; then, select a project area that has already been defined.
  2. On the Request Import Definition page, under Import, click the Request Import tab.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
