Thomas thank you so much for helping me solve this mystery. What happened was when I performed my import (containing many views and procedures) I was getting activation errors on some views. So I re-imported with activation option turned off. Then in MODELER perspective I could see all my various views successfully arrived yet INACTIVE status icon, and then went into each view and manually activated them. It didn't dawn on me that my many procedures were also imported INACTIVE and that they would not still appear in modeler perspective with INACTIVE status like the views do. They did not appear at all. Reading your post I quickly realized I don't even have a repository setup yet in the destination system so I set one up quickly and voila there were all my inactive procedures sitting there! So lesson learned for me is inactive views appear in modeler perspective yet inactive procedures do not.
Many thanks!
