You can import an asset (such as a monitor model from another Business Monitor developer)
from the asset repository to
use in the Business Monitor development toolkit.
By reusing an asset that already exists, you can save time and effort
in your business monitoring project.
About this task
You can import one or more business monitoring projects,
monitor models, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) diagrams, or event
definitions.
To import an asset
from the asset repository,
complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Open the Asset Repositories view and
click . If you are importing an asset from another product,
click or . Selecting an asset from the IBM WebSphere Business Modeler section
will import the monitor model associated with the asset.
- To open the Import wizard, right-click the asset in the
tree, and select Import Asset.
- If you see a Select product window,
select IBM Business
Monitor and
click Next.
- If the selected assets have dependencies, select the assets
to include. For example, if you selected a monitor model, any referenced
event definitions or Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files in the same
project are shown so that you can choose to import those assets at
the same time. By default, all of the dependencies are imported unless
they are already in the workspace or you specify otherwise. Click Next.
- If you selected an asset that must be imported into a project,
select the target project in your workspace, or click the New
Folder
icon
to create a new project. Click Next.
- To review the Summary page, click Next.
After reviewing the summary, click Finish.
If there are conflicts, you are asked whether you want to overwrite
each of the existing elements with the new ones.
Note: User-defined XPath function JAR files are added at the
project level. If your monitor model requires JAR files, import the
project that contains the monitor model rather than importing the
monitor model by itself.
Results
You have imported an asset from the
asset repository.
If you import
a monitor model developed in WebSphere Business
Modeler from the asset repository and then later
export the monitor model to the asset repository again, the monitor
model is added to the asset repository as
a separate asset under IBM Business
Monitor.
