Prerequisites for Importing Code Insight Project Data

To import data from another Code Insight project or source into the current Code Insight project, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• A Code Insight v7 instance currently running.

• An existing Code Insight project to which data will be imported (that is, a target project).

  note

  Ensure that a scan is not running on this project during the import.

• A .zip archive containing the JSON data file with the project data to be imported (see Input Used in Import Process for Code Insight Project Data ).

• A completed Electronic Update for the Code Insight system to which the target project belongs.

• Items listed in Prerequisites When Using the REST Interface for Project Exports and Imports (if performing the import using REST API).

note

After upgrading from a 2025 R3 or earlier Code Insight release to the 2024 R4 Code Insight release, a project data import is supported only for JSON data files that were exported from the same Code Insight version as the current installation. If you attempt to import a JSON data file that was exported from a different version of Code Insight than the current installation, the import process will fail with display of the following error message:

Cannot import because project was exported from a different Code Insight version. Please create a new export from the current version and then import it.
