Go to the store folder you submitted ("FOR_EXPORT" folder in the screenshot) to find all files exported in MCE style there:

Example of Exported MCE files Image Modified
The folder contains .pkg files of packed streams and one common /tpe folder will all source files for each stream. These .pkg files can be imported via MCE one by one. But if you want to import them all at once, you should use the *main.pkg file. This is the main package with references to all other files.
The main package in our case is my_test_package_main.pkg. Launch Message Center Editor, go to Message Center Streams tab and launch import stream wizard:

Navigate to the *main.pkg package and select it.

NOTE: We are using the fake stream eagle_iws_service_data_empty to import files without the parent pkg file, for example all IWS source files like .ejmsln and .ejmwf. In addition, sometimes map files and wrf files have no references to packages.

Fake eagle_iws_service_data_empty stream needs a fake ruleset to simulate a stream – that is csv-0.rsf. This file does not exist, as a result you receive a warning.

Click Next.
