Rational Developer for System z

Importing property groups

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
