This endpoint is used to create a configuration for an ImportIModel transformation.
Import iModel transformation imports an iModel from source project to specified target.
Multiple iModels may be imported into the same target iModel, effectively combining them.
Element conflicts can occur when importing an iModel. In this case, elements of the iModel being imported overwrite the target elements. Only elements whose scoping hierarchy ultimately reaches elements with ids 0x10
(dictionaryId) and 0xe
will be able to conflict with each other (most common cases are DefinitionElement
s).
In addition to exported data, the transformer will also push some additional metadata. This metadata contains:
BisCore:RepositoryLink
andBisCore:ExternalSource
elements that mark the source where the data was imported from.- A "Scope"
BisCore:ExternalSourceAspect
that contains Synchronization changeset metadata that is needed by the transformation service to process any later changes correctly. - Element provenance information (
BisCore:ExternalSourceAspects
) for elements that do not have federation guids.
Note: Creating a configuration does not run the transformation. To run the transformation, please see transformations reference.
Authentication
Requires Authorization
header with valid Bearer token for scope itwin-platform
.
For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit OAUTH2 Authorization page.
Authorization
You must have imodels_write
assigned at the target project level and imodels_read
assigned at the source project level within related configuration. If permissions at the project level are not configured, then you must have same assigned at the iModel level.
Alternatively, you must be an Organization Administrator for the Organization that owns a given project the iModel belongs to.
An Organization Administrator must have at least one of the following roles assigned in User Management: Account Administrator, Co-Administrator, or CONNECT Services Administrator. For more information about User Management see Bentley Communities Licensing, Cloud, and Web Services wiki page.
Rate limits
All iTwin Platform API operations have a rate limit. For more documentation on that visit Rate limits and quotas page.
