Replacing Scheduling Objects through Workload Applications

If a scheduling object definition included in a Workload Application already exists in the target environment, even though a dialog during the import process provides an option to replace it, it is unable to replace it. This is because the existing object was either created in the target environment through another Workload Application or manually.

    This feature can currently (V9.5.0.4) be achieved by specifying the -contents flag from wappman and then choosing to replace the objects.
