Export and Import Properties

You can export and import properties when you want to replicate the properties added in one environment on another. For example, you can export properties from the Test environment and import them into the Production environment.

1. To export properties:
   1. Sign in as an administrator in the source environment.
   2. Click Configuration > Properties.
   3. To export a specific set of properties:
      1. Click View and filter the required properties, using the Find and Entity fields.
      2. Click Export and select Filtered.
   4. To export all properties, click Export and select All.
   5. Click Export. The properties are exported as a .xml file.
2. To import properties:
   1. Sign in as an administrator in the target environment.
   2. Click Configuration > Properties.
   3. Click Import.
   4. Drag the required .xml file to the Import properties dialog box and click Import. A confirmation message appears on successful completion of the import process.
      Points to remember

      When you import property data, Oracle Fusion Field Service performs the following validations and actions:

      • If you define the same property more than once within the same import file, the import process detects these duplicates. It then shows a validation error message and skips importing those duplicate rows.
      • If a property in your file already exists in the target environment, the import process automatically updates (overwrites) that property.
      • When existing and imported properties share the same type, the import process merges any new enumeration values included in your file with the property's existing enumeration values.
      • The import process does not prompt you to cancel or confirm an overwrite. Once validation succeeds, the import proceeds and the system updates the properties automatically.
