How do we import design objects ?

Question

Hello friends,
I have a s/w component with a namespace in it containing all my Design objects in the Integration repository(Design).  There is an option called Export which i assume exports entire namespace along with the design objects within it to a tpz file.
now i want to know is whether i can import this tpz file again into Xi, if yes then how because when i tried importing it (Tools-> Import Design Objects...) , it says No Object Found.
I also want to know is that whether i can import this Namespace on some other XI deployed on some other machine.
Thanks !!!

Hi Rohit,
<i>now i want to know is whether i can import this tpz file again into Xi, if yes then how because when i tried importing it (Tools-> Import Design Objects...) , it says No Object Found.</i>
Yes, when you say TOOLS --> IMPORT , you should be able to import your exported namespace into the IR. Just make sure, you are giving the correct TPZ file to be imported into XI.
<i>I also want to know is that whether i can import this Namespace on some other XI deployed on some other machine.</i>
Yes , you surely can and that is the exact reason why the export and import actually exist. One option that is normally used when you want to migrate your objects from Dev to QA to Prod and so on is this import and export.
