About importing artifacts

There are two ways to import artifacts: initially via initial import strategies, or the "normal" way via regular import strategies. Both use the Import artifacts wizard which can be accessed by:

• importing via an application
• importing or reimporting via an existing import process instance

The following actions, involved in executing the import processes, are completed using the  Operational Console Management perspective (see Overview of the DROPS Studio) or in the DROPS web app.

The  Console Explorer provides access to the import process execution procedures. This perspective is the functional side of DROPS.

•  Managing applications (see Managing applications),
•  Importing artifacts (creating releases) (see Importing artifacts immediately by application and Import process instances).
