About Importing Metadata

You can import metadata from a flat file in a comma-delimited, tab-delimited, or other format.

These artifacts are supported in the imports:

  • Dimensions

  • Smart Lists

  • Exchange rate tables

To import metadata:

  1. Create an import file for each artifact that you want to import.

    See Creating a Metadata Import File.

  2. Load the import file or files.

    You can import multiple dimension files at the same time. See Loading the Metadata Import File.

Note:

  • You cannot rename members of attribute dimensions during a metadata import. Renaming of members will be ignored.

  • You cannot delete attribute dimensions while importing metadata.
