Import Wizard: Step 2 dialog

Use this dialog to choose how to treat objects that have the same name or identifier, common to the EUL that you exported the objects from and the EUL that you are importing the objects into.

For more information, see:

"About copying EULs and EUL objects by exporting and importing"

"How to import EUL objects from a file using the Import Wizard"

If two objects match then what action should occur?

• Rename the imported object

  Use this option to rename imported objects to differentiate them from existing objects in the current EUL.

  For example, you might want to import a folder named Sales into the current EUL, even though the current EUL already contains a folder named Sales. Selecting this option will change the name of the imported folder to Sales1. The EUL will contain a folder called Sales, and a folder called Sales1.

• Rename the existing object

  Use this option to rename existing objects in the current EUL to differentiate them from imported objects.

  For example, you might want to import a folder named Sales into the current EUL, even though the current EUL already contains a folder named Sales. Selecting this option will change the name of the existing folder to Sales1. The EUL will contain the existing folder renamed to Sales1, and the imported folder named Sales.

• Do not import the matching object

  Use this option to not import objects that match existing objects in the current EUL.

  For example, you might want to import a folder named Sales into the current EUL, even though the current EUL already contains a folder named Sales. Selecting this option will not import the folder Sales. The EUL will contain only the existing folder called Sales.

• Refresh the object

  Use this option to refresh any objects that match existing objects in the current EUL.

  For example, you might want to import a folder named Sales into the current EUL, even though the current EUL already contains a folder named Sales. Selecting this option will update the existing folder Sales. The EUL will contain an updated folder named Sales.

  When existing items are different from imported matching items, the imported items will replace the existing items. New items that are imported will be added. Existing items that do not match any imported items will not be altered.

  When you use the Refresh the object option, it also activates the Preserve display related properties check box.

Preserve display related properties

This check box is activated when you select the Refresh the object option.

Select this check box to preserve the following workbook display properties:

• heading

• format mask

• alignment

• word wrap

• display case

• replace NULL with

• default position

How you would like objects to be matched up?

Discoverer can use one of the following methods for determining, during an import, whether an object from one EUL is the same as an object in another EUL.

• By Identifier

  Use this option to match the same objects from different EULs by using identifiers. When an object from one EUL is the same as an object from another EUL, both objects share the same identifier.

  Note: It is recommended that you use the By Identifier option to make sure that Discoverer correctly matches the same objects from different EULs, and not use the By Display Name option.

• By Display Name

  Use this option to match the same objects from different EULs by using object display names.

  Note: It is recommended that you do not use the By Display Name option, but use the By Identifier option instead. This option is included here only for compatibility with previous versions of Discoverer.

Should the current user take ownership of imported workbooks?

• Always take ownership of imported workbooks

  Use this option if you want the current user to own any imported workbooks.

• Only take ownership if original owner cannot be found

  Use this option if you want the owner of an imported workbook to be the same database user as the original owner of that workbook. If the database does not contain a user with the same name as the original owner of a particular workbook, the current user will be the owner of that imported workbook.
