Regenerate Import Map Templates
Use the Regenerate Import Map Templates scheduled process to generate smart spreadsheet templates for existing import maps in Oracle Product Hub.
The scheduled process will pick the import maps based on the criteria that was specified when scheduling the process and generates respective templates.
When to Use
When the value sets linked to any existing extensible flexfields are modified and these changes must be incorporated to the list of values shown up for these extensible flexfields on the smart spreadsheet templates, use the Regenerate Import Map Templates scheduled process instead of updating each template separately.
The scheduled process can be initiated using the Scheduled Processes task.
From Scheduled Processes work area, click Schedule New Process, select Regenerate Import Map Templates, specify the Item Class, Import Maps (All or With Templates), and Languages under Basic Options, and then click Submit.
This process will regenerate the smart spreadsheet templates and attach them to the corresponding import maps.

Specifications
Review the following before setting up this scheduled process:
| Specification | Description |
|---|---|
| Job Type | Ad hoc job or scheduled. Typically, when changes are made to the value sets for some extensible flexfields and you want to update the import map templates, you can run the process as an ad hoc job. But, if there are any anticipated changes to the value sets, and you want to make sure the existing import map templates are up-to-date, you can also schedule for a set time. |
| Frequency | Whenever there is a change to some extensible value sets, import map templates must be updated. |
| Time of Day | If there is a considerable number of import map templates that must be regenerated, it's recommended to run the process after work hours. |
| Duration | Variable based on the number of import map templates as per the scheduling options. |
| Compatibility | There’s no current functional need to run multiple instances of this process simultaneously. |
