Data flow and connection point specific behavior

If the imported file contains entities that already exist, you can be asked to select an action for connection points and other entities separately.

Select one of these options:

  • Skip the already existing.

    If the data flow is unique but some of its referenced entities, for example connection points or mappings, already exist, these entities are skipped. Consequently, the corresponding activities in the imported data flow do not have a connection point or mapping set.

  • Rename duplicated.

    If some of its referenced entities already exist, these entities are renamed. The corresponding activities in the data flow refer to the renamed entity.

  • Merge additional documents (Connection points only).

    All unique document configurations from the import file that do not already exist on the connection point are added to the existing connection point.

Note: 
  • Merge applies to connection point documents only, not to file templates.
  • If file templates already exist in the target environment, they are intentionally skipped and are not overwritten or merged.
  • After a successful import, a summary dialog displays the count of imported and skipped items.
  • If you need to update file templates, do so through a separate export/import operation. For the export procedure, see Export procedure.
