Importing a package

Packages in another environment that are currently in a Submit status can be imported into the current environment.

Selecting Import a Package from the context menu of the packages list displays the following dialog:

Field

Description

Scheduler

Name of the scheduler to retrieve the package from.  The dropdown displays a list of connections to external schedulers.  These connections are setup in Server Properties under Connection → Scheduler (see Scheduler Connections).  Once the user has selected a scheduler, clicking on the Retrieve list of packages button will retrieve a list of submitted packages from the selected scheduler.

When importing packages remotely, the current user's credentials are used in the API request.

Available Package

Once the user has clicked on Retrieve the list of packages, this list will contain all submitted packages in the selected Scheduler.

Pressing the Import button will add the package into the current schedulers list of packages with a status of Open.  The package on the source scheduler will have its status change to Accepted.  At this point, no definitions in the package have been inserted into the current scheduler.  The definitions in the package will only be inserted when the user applies the package to the current scheduler.  Before then, the user can make changes to items in the package such as changing the agent an included task is referencing.
