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 start:
Before completing this
task, you must have a compatible pattern configuration.
You
must be in the WebSphere® Message Broker Toolkit and have
a pattern instance open.
- Open your current configuration. On the Configure
Pattern Parameters page, click the Open existing
configuration icon. The Open
Pattern Configuration window opens.
- 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.
- Share the pattern instance projects. To share
pattern instance projects between WebSphere Message Broker 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.
