Import Library Wizard

This wizard enables you to import a library to share and reuse an existing set of entities. You import a library by selecting a baseline in another library from which to import. You can import a library from the same project or from a different project.

Overview

You can access the Import Library Wizard fromthe Libraries module. Right-click a library folder and select Import Library.

Note that:

Importing libraries requires appropriate user permissions, including: Import library, Capture baseline, and Create and Update permissions for the entity types you are importing. For details, see Libraries Permission Levels.
After you import a library, a baseline is automatically created for the new library in your project. This baseline is the basis for comparing the libraries at any point in time and should not be deleted.

Editions: Imported libraries functionality is available for the ALM edition and OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering Edition. For information about editions and their functionality, see Editions and lifecycle. To find out which edition you are using, ask your site administrator.

Select a Baseline Page

This wizard page enables you to select a baseline in the library you are importing.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A - Z)	Description
Description	A description of the library you are importing.
Domain	The domain in which the library you are importing is located.
From Current Project	Enables you to import a library from the project in which you are working.
From Project	Enables you to select a domain and project from which to import a library. Note: ASCII projects can only import libraries from ASCII projects.
Project	The project in which the library you are importing is located.
Select a Baseline	Enables you to select a baseline from which to import the library. Click the browse button to display the libraries tree in the selected project. Only libraries that can be imported are displayed. You cannot import an imported library.

Library Verification Page

This wizard page enables you to view results of the library verification process. If any of the verification checks have the status Failed, you cannot proceed with the import process. Click Cancel.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element	Description
Verification Results	Displays the verification results and the list of fields to be imported. The import process can continue if all verification checks have the status Passed.

Select Target Root Folders Page

This wizard page enables you to select a location in your project for each of the root folders you are importing.

You cannot import a library under the same previously imported library. For details, see Troubleshooting and Limitations.
The library is imported in a background process, and may take some time. You can continue working in your project during the import process.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A - Z)	Description
Description	A description for the library. By default, if the source library and baseline contain descriptions, the descriptions are displayed.
Name	The name of the library. By default, the name of the library from which you are importing is displayed with the suffix _Imported.
Select Target Root Folders	The location in your project for each of the imported folders. For example, in the Requirement Root Folder box, specify a location for the imported requirements. All of the requirement folders defined in the library are imported under the requirement folder you specify. Click the browse button to display the requirements tree in your project. Select a folder or create a new folder for the imported requirements. Note: If the library you are importing contains tests, the baseline automatically includes related entities that the tests need to run, such as test resources. In this case, the Resource Root Folder box is also displayed, enabling you to select a target folder for the imported test resources.
