Problem Note 63112: An SPK file containing at least one SAS® Data Integration Studio job fails to import, and an ". . . import process has failed . . ." error occurs
 |  |  |  |  |
The batch import tool fails with the following error when you attempt to import a SAS package file (SPK) that contains at least one SAS Data Integration Studio job:
ERROR (com.sas.metadata.promotion) The import process has failed. null
The same SPK file can be imported successfully when you use the Import SAS Package wizard in either SAS® Management Console or SAS Data Integration Studio.
The workaround is to import the file by using the interactive Import SAS Package wizard.
