Importing PROIV Assure Objects

Tests, Suites and their components can be imported and exported into different PROIV environments. The Import and Export functions are single-user operations, and can only be run if no other user is using the PROIV Assure Console. This is enforced by PROIV Assure.

Any Object Type can be exported (Suites, Tests, Recordings, Configuration Settings, Comparator Groups, Saved Rules, Run Connectors and Recording Connectors). When Suites and Tests are exported, their components are exported as well (which could include any of the above, except the Configuration Settings). The physical Recordings constitute part of the Export file. The imported objects overwrite and replace objects of the same name and this is an automatic process. The file extension used for the Import/Export files is .vqz.

To import a group of PROIV Assure Objects, follow these steps:

Click Admin Options icon on the PROIV Assure Toolbar. Alternatively, select the Admin option from the PROIV Assure Menu.
Select the Import option.
The PROIV Assure Import window appears.

Click ellipsis to display the Directory Listing window.
Select the relevant .vqz file that you want to import into PROIV Assure. Click OK to make the file selection and to close the Directory Listing window.
Click Import. The Import process occurs and any failures are reported.
