Prerequisites

The Dictionary files (only MedAscii files) should be zipped and available in the user's local directory. The ZIP file should not contain embedded ZIP files or folders and should not be password protected.

Note:

In the Dictionary Loader self-service option, the new schema and user are automatically created for every dictionary load.

The latest MDB/Configuration File for MedDRA should be available for upload in the user's local directory.

Note:

The MDB file is shipped with Argus and it is available in <Installation path>\Oracle\Argus\DBInstaller Directory. The file can also be obtained by creating a request ticket on the HSGBU Customer Support Portal.

To recode the MedDRA dictionaries in Update Mode, set Maintenance Mode to System down for Maintenance. For more information, see Configuring System Maintenance.
