You can import property groups that have been saved to
an XML file.
About this task
If you have exported resource properties to XML files using
a previous release of Rational® Developer
for System z® that does
not support property groups, you can use this action to import the
properties into a property group.
Procedure
To import property groups from an XML file:
- From the Property Group Manager view,
select the system into which you want to import property groups and
then select Import from the pop-up menu. The Import Property Groups window
opens.
- In the File field, type the path
of the XML file or click Browse to navigate
to the file. The property groups defined in the file
are loaded into the table view.
- From the table view, select one or more property groups
to import. You can click the Select
All or Deselect All button to select
all property groups or clear all groups. You can sort the list by
clicking the table headings. To reverse the sort order, click the
table headings again.
- Click OK to import the property
group from the file. If you attempt to import a property
group that contains unsupported categories, then the unsupported categories
are ignored, but the supported categories are imported. This situation
might occur, for example, if you attempt to import a property group
into a previous version of Rational Developer
for System z, and the back-level
version does not recognize a category that was introduced in a more
recent version.
