5. The Import window appears and identifies all of the assets that will be imported from
the export file to the target XMS. An icon in front of the asset’s name indicates whether
the asset is being added
or is being updated .
The assets are displayed in a tree-structure that represents the assets’ destination among
the target server’s categories. Newly created categories are indicated the
icon.
Figure 4-6. The Import window provides a verification step before the import operation is performed
Figure 4-6 also demonstrates that the Import window can also contain a list of error or
warning messages to alert users of problems that may occur if the import is performed.
For example, some categories may have to be renamed and some assets will not be
able to be categorized because of name conflicts. Clicking on an asset that shows
either an error or warning icon highlights the associated messages. Similarly, clicking
on a message will select the corresponding asset or category in the tree.
6. After inspecting the import contents, select the I MPORT button to proceed with the
import or select C ANCEL to abort the import.
The status bar at the top of the Xstudio window displays the progress as the file is
imported into your system.
The Import window remains open after I
MPORT is clicked so that it can be referenced when
looking for newly imported assets. Select the C LOSE button to close the I MPORT window.
7. Optional: Verify that the asset was properly imported by opening the Asset Browser
and navigating to the category where you expected the asset to be stored. Open the
asset by double-clicking its name in the Asset Browser.

Transferring assets by exporting assets from one Xmedia Server (XMS) and then importing
them into another XMS manually is ideal for low volume and infrequent transfers. However,
if you are frequently transferring assets between servers, we recommend using propagation
to transfer assets. See “Propagating assets from the XMS to another server” in the Xmedia
Server Configuration Guide for more information.
