Importing Transformations

You can import a transformation that was previously created in DDW and exported to an XML file by using the import feature.

You can import a transformation

Data Exchange uses an internal ID to uniquely identify a transformation. Also, each transformation must have a unique name in the same DDW Repository. While importing a transformation, there might be ID and name conflicts. DDW provides warnings and enables you to resolve these conflicts as you import the transformation.

To import the transformation

  1. On the Transformation menu, click Import Transformation.

    The Import Transformation dialog box appears.

  2. Browse to the location where the transformation XML file is saved, and select the file to import.

  3. Click OK

    If the file you chose has no conflicts with transformation ID and transformation name, the selected file is imported to the DDW repository.
