Loading Application Elements

After you create an application, you load metadata, member lists, rules, and security files. You can load individual files, select multiple files to load, or load all files at once. When you load multiple files, the system loads them in the proper sequence. You can also scan the files to verify them before loading.

Each load process generates a log file so you can review each process individually. When the load process is complete, a link displays for the log so that you can view any errors. If one of the load files does not complete successfully, you can correct any errors and reload it.

Application element files must use a specific file format, and several options are available for the load process. See these sections:

• Loading Application Security

• Loading Metadata

• Loading Member Lists

• Loading Rules

To load application elements:

1. Open an application.
2. Select Consolidation, then Load, and then Application Elements.
3. Enter the file name to load, or click Browse to locate the file that you want to load.
4. Specify options for the load process.
5. Optional: Click Scan to verify that the file format is correct.
6. Click Load to load individual files or click Load All.

   If you reload existing files, the system displays a warning prompt asking if you want to use them again. If you do, click Yes.

   Tip:

   To reset the file options to the default values, click Reset or Reset All.

7. Optional: To download the log file, click Download Log. Click Open to display the log file, or Save and select a location to save the file locally.
