Hi Nazim

First of all, please take into account that importing code from a project in Production is not recommended. A best practice is to deploy the updated models.

Having said that, if you’re exporting/importing projects, the recommendations with regards to checkboxes would be:

EXPORT:

– Application Object Layer = Yes

 Select the layer from where you want to export your modifications. If you’re a customer, this would typically be CUS or USR.

– Export Labels : Select only when you’ve created new labels as part of your development. Please be aware that importing/exporting labels is a bit tricky and not always works nicely.

Again, ideally labels files should be deployed to prod instead of labels being installed via projects.

IMPORT:

– Delete sub-elements = NO

– If you’ve exported with labels –> Select “Application objects and labels”, otherwise “Only application objects”.

– Show details will show you which objects are going to be imported, but it won’t have any effect on the import process itself.

With regards to the next steps:

– Full compile
– DB sync if your project includes data model elements
– It should be enough with incremental CIL compile, although I would recommend full CIL.
– If you’re transferring labels, a label cache clean may be needed (or alternatively a restart of AOSs)

Hope this helps.
