You can import a previously-exported model into a development component in the local repository. When you import a model, you also import any nested or referenced models that were exported with the model. You can choose whether you want to open the top-level model after you import it.

If you have configured the virus scan interface to include external virus scanners on the AS Java, you can activate the visualcomposer virus scan profile in NetWeaver Administrator to automatically scan the imported models for viruses.

Procedure

  1. Choose   Model   Import  . The Import Model dialog box is displayed.

  2. To locate the model to import, click the Browse button to the right of the File name field. The Choose file dialog box is displayed.

  4. Click Open.

  5. In the Import Model dialog box, choose the location at which to save the model by using the Repository, Software component and Development component dropdown lists.

  6. To open the top-level model in Visual Composer after importing it, select the Open imported model checkbox.

  7. Click Import.

Result

The model is imported to the selected development component. If you chose to open the top-level model after the import process is complete, it is opened in Visual Composer.

Note Note

Visual Composer has no way of validating that imported models were not modified outside of Visual Composer. To enable such validation, you need to use an external digital signature mechanism.
