You can import GE Digital APM metadata into any GE Digital APM data source, either the one from which it was exported or a different one. When you import GE Digital APM metadata from a file, you can choose which items of each supported data type within the file to import. You can choose to import all or only some of the data in the file, and you can choose any combination of data types.
GE Digital APM metadata can be imported into any GE Digital APM data source, either the one from which it was exported or a different one.
If you import the metadata into a data source where that same metadata already exists, the action indicators in the import file will tell the GE Digital APM system what to do with the metadata.
If you import metadata into a data source in which that metadata does not exist, you need to consider dependencies for the metadata you are importing. For example, you cannot import permissions for a Security User until that Security User exists in the target database. If you attempt to import metadata without the necessary prerequisites, the import operation will fail and error messages will be written to the import log.
