Working with object output in indexed files

In some cases, output files are split into smaller, indexed files to make it easier to import them.

If a configuration contains nested groups, script execution can fail because groups defined in one file are dependent on groups defined in another file.

If a script fails because of a missing dependency, remove the object that causes the failure. When you have finished importing the scripts for the object type, delete the script you edited and import it again. Then, run the script without editing it. Because the dependency is now included in the imported configuration, the unedited script can execute successfully.
