The CGMES Profile includes many objects that do not exist as such in PowerFactory. One example is a transformer, which is represented by two elements (ElmLne and TypLne) in PowerFactory, but various elements in CIM (PowerTransfomer, two or three PowerTransformerEnd, PhaseTapChangerAsymetrical, ...). 

Therefore PowerFactory is dependent on existing CIM data, which links the PowerFactory object with its corresponding CIM IDs. To do this, the already existing archive should include at least all exported grids (that should contain consistent IDs and the used boundary and must be selected as "Add-Archive".
