Import Admin Objects

You can import admin objects CA Output Management Web Viewer.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration Tab.
2. Click the Repository subtab, if necessary.

   Note: The same import dialog is displayed from the Repository, Role, Profile, Directory, and User tabs, so you can trigger the dialog from any of these subtabs.

3. Click Import (above the Repository list).
4. Select one or more types of objects for import.
5. Click Browse and locate the XML file for each type of admin object you want to import.
6. Select one of the following Conflict options for each import file:
   • Override

     If you import any object with the same name and type as an object already in the database. Attributes of the object you import will override the attributes in the existing object.

     Important! This is not a complete overwrite of an object. If the object you are importing does not contain certain attributes, the attributes are taken from the overridden object.

     If the attribute is a list style, such as a list of Roles a user has access to, the lists in the overridden object and the overriding object are combined. The Roles a user is given access to from the imported user object will be combined with the Roles the user already have access to in CA OM Web Viewer.

   • Skip

     If the object exists with the same name and type as the object being imported, the object will not be imported.

   • Duplicate (allowed only for Role and Repository type objects)

     If the object exists with the same name and type as the object being imported, object name will be modified and added the database.

7. Complete steps 5 and 6 for each object included in step 4.
8. Click Import.

   A confirmation or error message displays.

9. Continue importing more objects or click close to close the dialog.
