  • Replication of configurations and dependencies
  • Controlled rollout of automation updates

The Import tab is available to users with the appropriate import management permissions.

How to access:   From the AI Command Center, open Settings (⚙️) in the top-right corner and navigate to Migration → Import to access the Import tab.

Entity Import Behavior

During import, each entity in the package can be individually configured to determine how it should be handled in the target AI Command Center.

This behavior applies to all supported entities in the package (such as Lists, Connections, Enterprise Variables, and other resources).


Entity-Level Import Actions

For each entity, you can choose an action under the Action column in the import screen.

ActionDescription
Create NewCreates a new entity. If an entity with the same name already exists, the system may prompt for validation or require renaming based on configuration rules.
OverwriteReplaces the existing entity in the AI Command Center with the imported version. The current configuration is updated with the imported data.
SkipSkips importing the selected entity. Any existing entity remains unchanged.

Behavior Summary

  • Create New → Adds a new entity to the system  
  • Overwrite → Updates an existing entity with imported data  
  • Skip → Leaves the existing entity unchanged  

These options provide granular control over how resources are migrated across environments, helping avoid unintended overwrites or duplication.


Entity Import Status

After the import job completes, the View Report option displays the result for each selected entity.

The following table explains the entity import statuses:

StatusDescription
ImportedThe entity has been successfully imported into the AI Command Center.
OverwrittenThe entity has been successfully imported and replaced an existing entity.
SkippedThe entity was intentionally skipped during import.
ErrorThe entity failed to import. Refer to the Details column in the report for more information.

Importing Older Packages

Packages created in versions earlier than 6.3.108 must be repackaged before they can be imported into newer versions of AI Command Center.

Steps to Repackage Older Packages

  1. Install NuGet Package Explorer.
  2. Create a new package.
  3. Add a content folder.
  4. Inside content, create a folder based on package type:
Package TypeFolder Name
RPARPA
BPABPA
ConnectionsConnections
  1. Create a numeric subfolder (for example, 1).
  2. Add the older .nupkg file inside the subfolder.
  3. Create a packinfo.json file:
{
  "ServerVersion": "6.3.108.2"
}
note

Ensure the ServerVersion matches the AI Command Center server version on the server where the package will be imported.

  1. Add packinfo.json inside the content folder.
  2. Save the new .nupkg.
  3. Import the newly created package from the Import tab.
