Creating Management Ledger Applications by Importing Template Files

Exporting Templates describes how to export Management Ledger applications to template files for application migration and backup purposes. This section describes how to import those files to create new applications with application metadata, dimensions metadata, and model artifacts previously exported from another application.

To create a Management Ledger application with a template file:

1. Export a template file as described in Exporting Templates.
2. On the Applications tab of the Profitability Applications Console, select Actions, and then Import Template.
3. Select a location for the template file, either on a server or your local computer.

   Note:

   Files loaded from the server must first be copied to the import_export folder. Note that this folder is the same one used for LCM (lifecycle management), such as <MIDDLEWARE_HOME/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export.

4. Browse to select a file with .zip extension.

   If that file contains an input data folder, you can check Import Input Data to include it in the import.

5. Click Next

   If the file is a valid format, the import begins. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.

   You can click the Job Library tab, , and then Refresh to check import status.
