Is it possible to do a test import ..what is the procedure for test import

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

As i remember i think there is no option available like this

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

there is one more option "backup" available along with export and import. what it does and how can it be used.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

I think both are doing the same thing. In backup you get the optin to take the backup of selective model

If we choose Import, would it allow us to select the CIM file location(It's on my local desktop)

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Yes. When you will export after export finished it will ask you to download the zip file in your local pc. You can select the same file during import from pc

Hi,

You can refer to the below note :

Note 1093168 - Repair of SLD CR content

It tells about how to repair the CR data delivered by SAP. And it should answer your 2 point.

Hi,

Note 669669 tells very clearly the navigation path in SMP from where you can get the files.

Based on the current version of your CIM model, you can take the files from service market place.

Procedure is exactly as mentioned in the previous thread.

Make sure you follow note 669669

Rgds,
