Importing a Dataset

7.1.8Importing a Dataset

You can import an exported dataset in XMLformat from the same instance or another instance of Smarten.

Note:

Dataset Export does not include data. You must also import the associated data source along with thedataset. If the associated data source is not available in the system, the system will not be able to extract data for that dataset. In such cases, you must change the data source for those datasets.

After importing a dataset, you must open and publish the dataset to extract data from the associated data source.

5.If a dataset with the same name as of the imported dataset exists in the system, you can select the Overwrite checkbox, to allow the system to overwrite dataset in the system with the imported dataset.

Importing a dataset – selecting the overwrite option

If the Overwrite option is not selected, the system retains the existing dataset and adds the imported dataset with a new name. The new name of the dataset is appended with a numeric value in increasing order. For example, if you import ABC dataset and a dataset with the same name already exists, the system will rename the imported dataset as ABC_1. Similarly, if dataset with name ABC_1 exists, the system will rename the imported dataset as ABC_2.
