Importing the CI

This procedure describes how to import the CI into PeopleSoft. The CI, which is located in the installation DVD, must be imported from the PeopleSoft 8.x Application Designer. The Application Designer requires write permissions for all projects.

Before you Begin

From the installation DVD, select the ci/8.1 (version 8.1x, 8.2x), ci/8.4 (version 8.4x), or ci/8.5 (version 8.5x) directory and copy it to the hard drive of a computer running Microsoft Windows that has PeopleTools Application Designer installed.

To import the CI:

1. From the ci/8.1, ci/8.4 or ci/8.5 directory, right click and select Properties. Uncheck the Read Only attribute for this directory and all its files.
2. The location of the project files is dependent upon your version of PeopleTools.
   • PeopleTools 8.1x, 8.2x: Ensure that the Application Designer is in two-tier mode, then select File > Copy Project From File.
   • PeopleTools 8.4x, 8.5x: Select Tools > Copy Project > From File.
3. Ensure that the Import Directory is set to the CONTROLM directory on your hard drive.
4. Do one of the following:
   • PeopleTools 8.1x, 8.2x: Select CONTROLM project, and click Copy.
   • PeopleTools 8.4x, 8.5x: Select CONTROLM.ini file, and click Copy.

   The Copy Screen dialog appears.

5. Click Select All Objects and click Copy.

   The project is loaded into the Application Designer.
