Importing a BI Gateway Model

You can import an existing BI Gateway Model of the same version using the exported Data.json file.

The following import rules are followed while performing the import of BI Gateway Model:

• All the objects are imported from Export File.

• If any objects are existing, you can choose to either 'Overwrite' or 'Create New' objects.

• After import, all newly created objects are in an undeployed state, irrelevant of the state they were in at the export time.

• If any objects are existing and are in the deployed state, they are in 'Deployed with pending changes' state (a new version is created).

• If any objects are existing and are in an undeployed state, they are overwritten.

• If any objects are existing, and are in 'Deployed with pending changes' state, this version is overwritten.

• All relationships between objects are preserved.
