Deployment issue, immediate response encouraged

Question

We are in deployment phase of a Sunopsis v3 enhancement project. While deploying the enhanced Sunopsis objects (new interfaces, upgraded Package, variables etc), we are getting the below errors:
‘An error occurred while getting a datastore / interface from a source datastore’
‘Unable to find a source data store alias ’
Below is the summary of the steps we have done for this project:
Initial setup of Development environment:
1.     Exported the Sunopsis Project (all sunopsis objects) from Production environment
2.     Imported those objects to Development environment
3.     Tested the functionality in Development environment and it works same as Production environment
Enhancements Phase
1.     In the same work repository, we duplicated the Sunopsis Project
2.     Modified the duplicated Sunopsis project by changing some of the existing Sunopsis package, adding new Sunopsis objects ( package, folder, interface, variables etc)
3.     Tested the functionality, and it is working fine.
Deployment phase
1.     Exported the modified Sunopsis objects (like Interface, folder, variable etc) only
2.     Tried importing in Test environment
3.     Some of the objects resulted in error while importing with the following error:
a.     SnpProject.getObjectByIdent: Project does not exist
4.     Other objects which are imported successfully resulted in the below error while opening those Sunopsis objects (interfaces, variables etc)
a.     ‘An error occurred while getting a datastore / interface from a source datastore’
b.     ‘Unable to find a source data store alias ’
Please help me out to resolve these issues. Thanks for your efforts.

Hi,
I was wondering whether you found a solution to this problem you were experiencing?
I too am having this issue and get "An error occurred while getting a datastore/interface from a source datastore" error message.
Any feedback much appreciated!
Cheers,
Matt
