19.1.3 Import Modes

Oracle Data Integrator can import objects, the topology or repositories using several modes. Read carefully this section in order to determine the import mode you need. Table 19–1 Dependencies of an integration interface in the work and Master Repository Dependencies on other objects of Work Repository when importing in Synonym Mode Dependencies on objects of the Master Repository ■ ParentChild Folder: Folder holding this Interface needs to be imported first. ■ Reference ModelSub-Model: all ModelsSub-Models holding Datastore definitions referenced by the Interface need to be imported first. Datastore definitions including Columns, Data Types, Primary Keys, Foreign Keys references, Conditions must be exactly the same as the ones used by the exported Interface ■ Reference Global Variables, Sequences and Functions used within the Interface need to imported first ■ Reference Local Variables, Sequences and Function used within the Interface need to imported first ■ Reference Knowledge Modules referenced within the Interface need to be imported first ■ Reference Any Interface used as source in the current Interface needs to be imported first ■ Technology Codes ■ Context Codes ■ Logical Schema Names ■ Data Type Codes ■ Physical Server Names of the Optimization Contexts of Interfaces Import Mode Description Duplication This mode creates a new object with a new internal ID in the target Repository, and inserts all the elements of the export file. The ID of this new object will be based on the ID of the Repository in which it is to be created the target Repository. Dependencies between objects which are included into the export such as parentchild relationships are recalculated to match the new parent IDs. References to objects which are not included into the export are not recalculated. Note that this mode is designed to insert only new elements. The Duplication mode is used to duplicate an object into the target repository. To transfer objects from one repository to another, with the possibility to ship new versions of these objects, or to make updates, it is better to use the three Synonym modes. This import mode is not available for importing master repositories. Creating a new master repository using the export of an existing one is performed using the master repository Import wizard.
