| Import Language-Dependent Data from XML - Wizard (ttadv8920m000) |  |
| Use this wizard to import XML files with language-dependent components into the data dictionary. When you import the language-dependent components, Tools compiles the imported labels, and converts imported domains to run-time, and converts the imported system overhead to run-time. That is, after the import, the imported components are ready for immediate use at run-time. In Tools, you can define multiple labels with the same code, that have different heights, and lengths. When Tools displays a label for a software component, by default, Tools displays the longest label defined for the label code. If an imported label is shorter than any existing labels with the same code in the VRC, the existing (older) label displays on the software component. To ensure the imported (new) labels display for your VRC's software components, you must select the Remove Existing Label Variants check box in this session. Note If an error occurrs during the import process, Tools does not compile the labels. To compile the labels that are imported during an import process in which an error occurs, use the Compile Labels (ttadv1243m000) session.

Fields | Description
Import File | Type or select the path to, and the name of, the file you want to import. Note When you import your file, ERP LN checks the validity of the file's XML structure. If your XML file contains structural errors, ERP LN stops the import. To check your file's XML structure before you start the import process, click Check XML File. Click Get File Header to display in the File Header field, the header of the file you defined in the Import File field.
File Header | Shows the imported file's header. The header shows the file's settings, made in the Export Language Dependent Data to XML - Wizard (ttadv8910m000) session.
Import the whole file or make own component selection | Select: Yes, to import all language-dependent components listed in the import file. No, I want to make my own selection, to make a selection of language-dependent components in the import file to be imported.
Get Defaults | Restores the wizard's default settings. To save your current settings for the wizard as the default, click Save Defaults on the wizard's final dialog.
Language | The code of the language in which you want to import the language-dependent components. Default value The language you specified for the Target Language field in the Target Language (optional) box when you created the file to be imported with the Export Language Dependent Data to XML - Wizard (ttadv8910m000) session.
Import VRC | The version code of the VRC into which you want to import the language dependent components from XML. Default value The version code specified for the Import VRC field in the Import VRC box, when you created the import file with the Export Language Dependent Data to XML - Wizard (ttadv8910m000) session.
Import VRC | The release code of the VRC into which you want to import the language dependent components from XML. Default value The release code specified for the Import VRC field in the Import VRC box, when you created the import file with the Export Language Dependent Data to XML - Wizard (ttadv8910m000) session.
Import VRC | The customer code of the VRC into which you want to import the language dependent components from XML. Default value The customer code specified for the Import VRC field in the Import VRC box, when you created the import file with the Export Language Dependent Data to XML - Wizard (ttadv8910m000) session.
Remove Existing Label Variants | If this check box is selected, any existing labels in the import VRC with the same code as labels in your import file, will be removed from the import VRC. The imported labels replace the existing labels that have the same code in the import VRC. Default value Checked If this check box is cleared, existing labels in the import VRC are not removed from the import VRC. The existing labels, and the imported labels with the same code are stored in the import VRC. Note In Tools, you can define multiple labels with the same code, that have different heights, and lengths. When Tools displays a label for a software component, by default, Tools displays the label with the longest length defined for the label code. If an imported label is shorter than any existing labels with the same code in the VRC, the existing (older) label displays on the software component. To ensure the imported (new) labels display for your VRC's software components, you must select this check box.
