        <p> The source and destination repositories are selected by arguments
            passed to
            <member scope="com::sun::star::task">XJob::execute()</member>.
            The names and meanings of such arguments depend on
            the implementation. Each implementation must document such arguments.
        </p>

        <p> Implementations may return a value from
            <member scope="com::sun::star::task">XJob::execute()</member>
            that indicates the status of job execution. The type and meaning of
            such status indicators depend on the implementation.
        </p>
         <p>If <void/> or <TRUE/> is returned, this indicates successful
            execution. If an
            <type scope="com::sun::star::uno">Exception</type> is returned,
            it represents an error condition encountered during execution.
        </p>

        <p> The following arguments to
            <member scope="com::sun::star::task">XJob::execute()</member>
            should be supported by implementations. Implementations must document
            a failure to support any of these arguments:
        <dl>
            <dt><code>ImporterService</code> : <atom >string</atom></dt>
            <dd>A service or implementation name used to instantiate the
                <type>Importer</type> to use for importing. If this parameter
                is missing, the implementation selects an appropriate importer.
                By default, a <type>MergeImporter</type> should be used.
            </dd>
            <dt><code>OverwriteExisting</code> : <atom >boolean</atom></dt>
            <dd>If <TRUE/>, specifies that no existing data should be
                overwritten by the import. If the <type>Importer</type> used
                does not support such protection, an error may be raised.
                If some data is not imported, because there is existing
                data, this is indicated by returning an appropriate exception.
            </dd>
            <dt><code>TruncateExisting</code> : <atom >boolean</atom></dt>
            <dd>If <TRUE/>, specifies that existing data should be
                discarded and replaced by the imported data.
                If the <type>Importer</type> used does not support this
                operation, an error may be raised.
                By default, a <type>CopyImporter</type> is used to perform
                truncating import.
            </dd>
            <dt><code>Entity</code> : <atom >string</atom></dt>
            <dd>An identifier for the entity in the destination backend for
                which the imported data should apply. The value will be passed
                to <member>XLayerImporter::importLayerForEntity()</member>.
                If this parameter is missing, the implementation uses
                <member>XLayerImporter::importLayer()</member> instead.
            </dd>
            <dt><code>Component</code> : <atom >string</atom></dt>
            <dd>Names the component for which to import data. If this
                parameter is missing, the selection of data to import depends
                on implementation-specific parameters.
            </dd>
            <dt><code>LayerFilter</code> : <type >LayerFilter</type></dt>
            <dd>A filter to transform data during import. This parameter is
                optional. If this parameter is missing, data will be imported
                unaltered. <em>Support for this parameter is optional.</em>
                If the implementation does not support a filter it will raise an
                <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">IllegalArgumentException</type>.
            </dd>
