   2. On the ImportRequest tab, complete the following fields:

      ImportLocation: Defines the Library location to which to import the XML file. If the specified folder does not exist, CA Process Automation creates it. For example, "/test-import/".

      SourceLocation: Define the source folder in one of the following ways:

      • Define the server location from which to import the content. For example, "c:\\export_import_test\\export_test.xml".
      • Define the HTTP URL for the location from which to import the content. For example, "http://servername:8080/c2orepository/test/export_test.xml".

      OverwriteAction: Enter one of the following options to import a file of the same name that exists in the specified location:

      • Import: Increase the version of the imported object if an object of the same exists in the specified import folder. Overrides the release version if the same release version exists.
      • DoNotImport: Skip the import operation if an object of the same name exists in the specified import folder.
      • ImportAndReplace: Replace the object of the same name in the specified import folder. It deletes the previous versions of the object.

      SetCurrent: Select "true" to set the imported version as current version; otherwise, select "false".

      MakeAvailable: Select "true" to make the content available in the Library. Select "false" to make the content unavailable.
