Import objects with I/O auto assignment

Objects configured for I/O auto assignments can be imported the same way as other objects. See Import objects for additional information.

When importing objects that utilize I/O auto assignment, be aware of the following:

• If you are importing DI objects, there are no special considerations related to I/O auto assignment. I/O device mapping is not affected. An imported DI object will overwrite an existing DI object with the same name.

• If you are importing application objects, different outcomes can result, depending on the DI objects and scan groups that already exist in the Galaxy.

  • I/O device mapping is recreated, if possible, for each application object that is successfully imported and for which a DI object and scan group are found that match the existing I/O assignment. This includes all user-configured I/O attribute overrides.

  • Objects for which a DI object and scan group with matching names cannot be found are moved to the unassigned area. All I/O information for those objects is discarded. This includes default I/O auto assignment information as well as any custom configured I/O attribute overrides. You will need to assign these objects to a DI object and scan group in the new Galaxy and recreate all user-configured overrides. None of this information is preserved for application objects that do not find a matching DI object and scan group.
