Issue

If you are importing a batch class that creates or updates global document types in the global batch class, the import process will fail if there is a local document type in the Global Batch Class (BC0).

The following error message will display:

“The import process has been aborted because the existing global batch class contains a local document type with the same name as an imported global document type. To fix this problem, change the local document type in the global batch class to a global document type, or use the Import as Local Batch Class option.”

Important: This error message is incorrect. Perform the following steps to resolve the error.

Solution

Importing will succeed if all local document types are changed to global for BC0.

1. In BC0, set any existing local or draft document types to Global.
2. Import your batch class.

Note: If you do not want to keep your local or draft document types as Global, perform steps 3 and 4.

3. Create copies of the document types you set to Global in step 1.
4. Delete the original document types you set to Global in step 1.
