You use the Projects screen to import and export SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) projects and define certain project settings.

Features

When you create or import a project, the system creates the ProjectInfo.xml file in the SAP MII Workbench on the Meta-Inf tab under <Project>/META-INF. In the editor for this file, you can do the following:

  • View default project attributes

  • Change the project description

If you are assigned the XMII_ProjectManagement action, you can add, delete, or change custom attributes. For more information about actions, see Actions for Permissions.

When you export a project, the exported zip file contains the files and project structure as configured in the SAP MII Workbench. An ExportManifest.xml file is also included and contains the following data:

  • User who exported the project

  • Hidden project setting

  • Creation date of the project

  • User who created the project

  • Project description

  • Project name

  • System project setting

  • Date and time of the export

  • SAP MII version from which the project was exported

If you import a project that already exists, the system overwrites the current project structure and files.

You import hidden projects that do not appear on the Projects screen or in the SAP MII Workbench. System-defined projects may appear in the Projects screen and in the SAP MII Workbench, but you cannot delete them. You import a project with the same name as a hidden or system-defined project and overwrite its properties. If you do this, they are not considered to be hidden or system-defined projects.

You create an external project structure, include it in a zip file, and import it as a new project. You do not need an ExportManifest.xml file to import a project.

Activities

To import or export projects, on the SAP MII administration menu, choose   System Management   Projects.  You click the icons at the end of the row to export or delete listed projects.

If you want to track project statistics, select the Usage Monitoring checkbox. For more information, see Content Usage.
