IWS/IWA Export Import definition improvment

The client is re-using some utilities/services JOBS to manage repetitive operations. They defined it once and leveraging on variable usage they reuse this common JOBS within multiple applications with the same JOB or occurence name.

This is creating problems when they execute export operations from their test/dev environment and than import them within their production environment.

Even with the latest enhancements added to the import function these will not address the needed capabilities.

The client expectation are to improve the import operations and to have an additional feature that when a duplicate definition will be detected during an import operation will interact with the IDWC end user to check if the duplicated object (JOB Occurence or Variable Table entry) should be:
- Replace the existing definition with the updated one available within the importing definitions
- Keep the existing definition and continue with the following object
- abort the import .

IL cliente per facilità d'uso ha una serie di JOB di servizio/utilità per poter eseguire operazioni ricorrenti in doverse JOBstream.
Questi JOB hanno un nome fisso e sfruttando variabili possono essere presenti in varie JOBstream senza richiedere modifiche.
