Importing data

Before you import, you must decide whether to empty the target repository before importing. If you select not to empty the repository, you must decide whether to overwrite existing data in the target repository.

Cleaning the repository before importing

If you select to empty the repository before importing, all data is removed from the repository before data is imported from the zip file.

Overwriting data when importing

•	If you select to overwrite existing data, all rows are imported from the zip file. Existing rows in the repository are replaced by the corresponding rows imported from the zip file.

•	If you select not to overwrite existing data, only new rows are imported from the zip file.

To import data

1	In the Import section, click Browse. A file browser opens.

2	Browse to the zip file to import and click Import. The import path is displayed in the Import from field.

3	Select whether to Empty the repository before importing, and whether to Overwrite existing matching data.

4	Click Import. Data is imported to the repository.
