The Import Primo Configuration Tool
This functionality is not relevant to to Primo VE.
The Primo Home > Monitor Primo Status > Tools Monitoring > Import Primo Configuration page (see Importing a Primo Configuration, below) imports configuration data previously exported by the export tool to the following directory on the target servers:
/exlibris/primo/p4_1/ng/primo/home/profile/publish/exported_files
After the import completes successfully, the export package is copied to the following directory:
/exlibris/primo/p4_1/ng/primo/home/profile/publish/imported_files
If you are a Local deployment customer, verify that the export package in on the target environment under /exlibris/primo/p4_1/ng/primo/home/profile/publish/exported_files.
Importing a Primo Configuration
The instructions for importing are the same for all deployment levels: Local, Direct, or Multi-tenant (without server access).
If a configuration export was done for a specific institution, any installation-level configurations in use were also included in the export. For example, if a pipe uses normalization rules that belong to the installation level, they were included in the export. During the import, however, only new installation-level configuration are added; no existing configurations are replaced.
Use an institution-level export configuration if you are importing a configuration for a specific institution.
This tool is limited to the SuperAdmin and Admin roles.
To export/import the Primo full configuration (not just the specific institution), follow the instructions in Exporting/Importing the Full Configuration.
