This step describes how to import data into a new Optim™ Directory.
The next step in the Conversion Process is to import the objects into the new Optim Directory.

To begin this step, select the Import Data into a New Optim Directory check box and click Proceed. To skip this step, leave the check box blank and click Proceed.
This task describes how to specify the name of the new Optim Directory.
Use the Specify Optim Directory dialog to select the name of the new Optim Directory into which objects are imported.

This task describes how to connect to the database.
The Configuration program must connect to the database in order to access the new Optim Directory tables. The entries in the Connect to Database dialog are populated with values entered when the Directory was created.

This task describes how to import Optim Directory definitions.
After the workstation is connected to the database, you can import the objects using the Import Optim Directory Definitions dialog.

This task describes how to run the Import Process.
There are two ways to run the Import Process:
For example, if you want to import all Access Definitions in one import process, import all Table Maps in another import process, and import all Calendars in a third import process, do the following:
During import processing, the status bar displays information about the Import process. After processing completes, imported objects are identified by a gray check box.
If any errors occur, processing continues or stops based on the setting specified for the Continue Import if Errors prompt. Errors are identified by a red “X” beside each object in error. If the Overwrite Existing Definitions check box is cleared, duplicate definitions are noted in bold, and they are not imported. If some objects fail to be imported due to errors, check the specifications, and then retry the Import process by clicking Import.
This task describes how to complete the Conversion Process.
When you finish importing objects, the Conversion Process opens the Complete dialog. Click Close on that dialog to return to the Configuration main window, where you can quit the program or perform other tasks.
