To import a tag language file:

  1. Open the Import Metadata window.

  2. In the File name field, type the name of the tag language file that you want to import. If you want to search for a file to import, click . The File window window opens.

  3. Select the tag language file that you want to import and click OK. The file name that you selected is displayed in the File name field of the Import Metadata window.

  4. Click OK. The metadata that is represented by the tag language file is imported into the warehouse control database.

After a successful import procedure, you receive a message with return code 0, and the Import Warehouse window closes. Refresh the tree view to display the objects that you imported.

Attention: If an error occurs during the import process, you receive an error message.

Common errors include:

Check the log file to determine what object or relationship was being imported when the error occurred. If the object is not listed in the message, it should be the last object that is listed before the return code and error message information at the end of the log file. Fix the error, then import the object definitions again. If you cannot determine the error or you cannot fix it, contact IBM Software Support or the vendor who provided the interchange file.
