Importing a Sandbox
CLI EQUIVALENT 
si importsandbox
It is possible to import an existing Sandbox and register it as a new Sandbox on the Integrity Lifecycle Manager client.
To import a Sandbox, the project identified by the Sandbox must exist on the Integrity Lifecycle Manager server. However, if the Sandbox being imported is a build Sandbox, the project does not need to be currently registered as visible on that server.
Two types of sandboxes can be imported:
• Sandboxes that have a file extension of .pj. Those are Sandboxes that were created using Integrity 10.7 or earlier, but not opened in 10.8 or later.
• Sandbox files with the extension .pjx that were exported using the command Sandbox > Export.
To import a Sandbox in the GUI
Select Sandbox > Import, and then browse to the Sandbox file on your local drive.
The following options are available from the Import Sandbox window:
• Target Sandbox Directory specifies the location where the Sandbox will be located after it is imported. This option is only relevant when specifying a .pjx file for import.
• Files to Include in the Import specifies the files to include when importing the Sandbox. This option is only relevant when specifying a .pjx file for import.
◦ None specifies not to import working files in the Sandbox import operation. Working files can be obtained after import by resynchronzing the Sandbox.
◦ Sandbox Members Only specifies to only include working files that correspond to members. Note that former members and deferred operations are also included.
◦ All Files specifies to import all working files in the Sandbox. Note that non-member files are not added as members to the project, but the files are copied to the corresponding Sandbox directory.
• Overwrite an Existing File in the Sandbox Directory specifies whether or not to overwrite an existing file in the target Sandbox directory. This option is only relevant when specifying a .pjx file for import.
• View Sandbox After Import specifies whether or not to open the Sandbox view after this Sandbox is imported and registered on the client.
