Importing an existing configuration

You can import a pattern configuration XML file from the workspace or file system and populate your current pattern instance with its values.

Before you begin

Before you start:

Before completing this task, you must have a compatible pattern configuration.

You must be in the IBM® Integration Toolkit and have a pattern instance open.

Procedure

  1. Open your current configuration. On the Configure Pattern Parameters page, click the Open existing configuration icon. The Open Pattern Configuration window opens.
  2. You can select an existing pattern XML configuration file either from a workspace or file system location. Only configuration files created by the same pattern can be imported.
    • To select from a list of compatible XML configuration files that are already in the workspace, click Workspace. If you select a valid XML configuration file, the editor is configured with the values from the existing configuration file. You can then choose one of the following options:
      • Save the changes by clicking OK.
      • Return to the Configure Pattern Parameters page and discard the changes by clicking Cancel.
    • To select an XML configuration file from the file system by using a standard file system window, click File System. Select the file that you want to use, click Open.
    The configuration XML is validated against the corresponding pattern schema, if you select a configuration that is not valid, for example, from a different pattern, you receive notification. You can then either select the correct file, or cancel the action.
  3. Share the pattern instance projects. To share pattern instance projects between IBM Integration Toolkit workspaces, you can export the pattern instance project into a directory in the file system or into a Project Interchange File (PIF). You can then import the pattern instance project into another workspace. For more information, see Importing resources from previous versions.
