        <p> The implementation returns <void/> from  
            <member scope="com::sun::star::task">XJob::execute()</member>
            to indicates successful execution. If import is not executed, 
            because <code>OverwriteExisting = </code><TRUE/> was specified, 
            a <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">IllegalAccessException</type> 
            is returned. 
        </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 standard arguments to
            <member scope="com::sun::star::task">XJob::execute()</member>
            are all supported by implementations. Additionally the following 
            argument is required to select the data source:
        <dl>
            <dt><code>LayerDataUrl</code> : <atom >string</atom></dt>
            <dd>A file URL that specifies the location of the source data. 
                <p> If no <code>Component</code> is provided, this must be the 
                    location of an OOR Update XML file, which will be imported 
                    directly. 
                </p>
                <p> If a <code>Component</code> is provided, the 
                    <code>LayerDataUrl</code> is treated as Entity 
                    (i.e. Layer directory base URL) for a local 
                    configuration database and the appropriate component 
                    from that repository is imported.
                </p>
            </dd>
        </dl>
        </p>
        <p> Implementations may support additional parameters to select 
            a destination <type>Backend</type>, that is not the
