If your imported object has variables that already exist in the flow you are importing into, the Duplicate Variables Handling dialog box will appear. In this dialog box you can define how the import process should handle duplicate variables. This dialog box has the following properties:
|
|
|
|
Scope
|
This describes whether the variable is global, context, business process, or flow.
|
|
Use Existing
|
If you select this check box, the variable is not copied from the template, and the Data Mapper uses the existing variable. This check box is disabled if the attribute or the length of the variable is different.
|
|
Variable Name
|
This is the name of the variable. The field is read-only.
|
|
Create As
|
This field is enabled only when the Use Existing check box is cleared. It allows you to define a new variable name. If you do this, all references in the template to the original variable are converted to the new name. This includes expressions.

After clicking Next, the Import Process Summary dialog box is opened. A process bar is displayed while the object is being imported. The dialog box will list the imported objects and mark the Import Dependencies as Yes or No, depending on whether this box was checked. Click Import to continue executing the import process. You can click Back to make changes in the previous screen.
Clicking the Details button displays a list of imported dependencies. Click Finish to close the wizard and exit the dialog box. You can only use the Cancel button while the export process is still running.
