Import Project Data Dialog

FlexNet Code Insight 2020 R1

The Import Project Data dialog is displayed when you select Import Project Data from the Manage Project dropdown menu on the Summary tab. This dialog enables you to configure and start a project import process, which imports project data from a properly formatted and archived JSON file into a target project.

An additional setting to determine whether the import should delete inventory that has no associated files is defined separately on the Edit Project: General Tab. Ensure that this setting is properly configured for the import.

For complete details on performing a project import, see the chapter, Exporting and Importing Project Data

Description

Choose File to Import

Click Browse next to the Choose File to Import field to search for and select the .zip file containing the JSON data file you are importing.

Only add files to inventory with matching MD5

This option determines whether MD5 checks, in addition to a file-path checks, are required to associate a file to target inventory during the import process.

• Unselected—Disables the MD5 checks when associating files with inventory. To be associated with inventory in the target project, files need only to have file paths that match in both the import data file and the target project codebase.
• Selected—Enables the MD5 checks (in addition to file-path checks) when marking files as reviewed. To be associated with inventory in the target project, files must have both MD5 values and file paths that match in both the import data file and the target project codebase.

This option is unselected by default.

For complete details, see Option to Require MD5 Checks When Associating Files to Target Inventory.

Only mark files as reviewed with matching MD5

This option determines whether MD5 checks, in addition to a file-path checks, are required to mark a codebase files as reviewed in the target project during the import process.

• Unselected—Disables MD5 checks for marking target inventory as reviewed. Files flagged as “reviewed” in the import data file need only to have file paths that match in both the data file and the target project to be eligible for the “reviewed” flag.
• Selected—Enables MD5 checks (in addition to file-path checks). Files flagged as “reviewed” in the import data file are eligible for the “reviewed” flag in the scanned target project codebase only if their file path and MD5 value match in both the data file and the target project.

This option is unselected by default.

For complete details, see Option to Require MD5 Checks When Marking Target Codebase Files as Reviewed.

Inventory Notes Handling

Choose one of the options in this section to determine how the import process handles notes between an identical source and target inventory item. The options apply to the following inventory notes:

• Notices Text
• Audit Notes
• Usage Guidance
• Remediation Notes

A source and a target inventory item are considered identical if they are associated with the same Code Insight data library item (based on the unique combination of component-version-license, or CVL).

 

Overwrite existing notes with imported notes

Select this option to overwrite all notes in the target inventory item with notes from the source inventory item. However, empty data for a given field in the source target inventory will not overwrite existing content for that same field in the target inventory item (that is, the existing target content is retained). By default, this option is selected.

Append imported notes to existing notes

Select this option to append notes from the source inventory item to the end of existing notes in the identical target inventory item. For a given note field, the appended content is separated from the existing content with a line break and the following heading:

Copied during import from <ProjectName>:<InventoryName> (TimeStamp) 

However, if note content for a given field is the same in both the source and the target inventory items, no content is appended.

OK

 

Click to start the import process.
