2.2.7 Importing a Rule Template

A Rule Template can be imported into the system using the Import function on the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Templates page.

Existing Rule Templates can be imported. Existing Rule Templates are previously defined Rule Templates that have been exported from Diameter Mediation using the Export function.

The Mediation version in the file selected for importing must be compatible with the system release into which the file is imported.

A successfully imported Rule Template file appears in the list on the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Templates page, the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then State & Properties page, and as a Rule Set in the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Sets menu folder (no Rule Set is generated if the only Action is Execute Rule Template).

The imported Rule Template is automatically set to the Test state.

The Enumeration types used in the Rule Template are imported, if they do not already exist in the system.

If the selected Rule Template references another Rule Template (as an Execute Rule Template action) that is not already present in the system, the referenced Rule Template is also imported, unless there is already a Rule Template with the same Name but a different definition.

Use the following procedure to import an existing Rule Template located outside of the file system:

1. Click Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Templates.
2. Click Import.
   If the maximum number of Rule Templates (100) already exists in the system, the Diameter, and then Mediation, and then Rule Templates [Import] page does not open, and an error message displays.
3. Click Browse to open the Choose File popup window.
4. Locate of the Rule Template file you want to import, and select the file.
5. With the Rule Template filename displayed in the File name field, click Open.
6. Click Import File.
