Manual export/import Artifacts; ID already in use in Target

[gpre7086]

Hello Friends -

A simple question. We've setup a simple subaccount landscape where we are planning on manually exporting/importing our packages and artifacts as a first approach to our transport strategy.

It doesn't appear this is an option - if I upload an artifact with the same name it gives me an error that the ID is already in use. It would appear I need to delete the artifact in the target environment and then upload the new version.

I do see there are other options but was hoping to start off with this manual approach.

Thank you. /Greg

Hi gp40,

Yes, this is the current behaviour. If you import something which already exist with the same ID then either you need to delete or you can copy the existing one with different name and then delete so that you cannot loose the old one and once you import the latest one and test properly then you can delete the renamed one as well.

Regards,

Sunny

You dont have to delete it. Just follow the view metadata--> edit option as mentioned in the below comment by

Unfortunately that is the case with manual imports today! You have to delete, import, configure and deploy.
