5.8.2 Importing Assets
Assets can be selectively imported into the data space by using the 'Repository' > 'Import Asset' node under the Server tab, which opens the 'Import Asset' page. This allows an administrator to incrementally deploy assets to an existing environment without overwriting all the assets in that environment. The assets to import must reside in an archive file generated by the 'Export Asset' feature described in Exporting Assets.
You cannot import a user-scope asset into an environment which has security disabled, or which has no definition for the particular user.
To import a set of assets from an archive file:
1. On the 'Import Asset' page, enter the file name of the archive containing the assets to import, and click OK.
2. The 'JAR Information' page opens and displays the asset contents of the specified JAR file.
3. Select 'Overwrite existing files' if the assets in the archive should overwrite existing assets of the same name upon import. The default setting of the 'Overwrite existing files' checkbox is specified by the export settings under which the archive was saved. See the Exporting Assets section above.
4. Click OK to import these assets into the current environment.
