Overwrite an existing MedDRA or MedDRA J dictionary

The Overwrite option allows the users to overwrite an existing dictionary version in the database. This option works only for dictionaries that are already successfully loaded from self-service.

The schema and dictionary name are reused from the initial load.

To overwrite a MedDRA or MedDRA J dictionary:

  1. From Argus Console, go to Tools, click Dictionary Management and select Dictionary Loader.
  2. Select Overwrite.
  3. In the Dictionary File (.zip file containing dictionary data) field, select the local path to the Dictionary ZIP file.
    The Dictionary Type field, the Configuration File and the dictionary version are automatically populated.
  4. In the Notification Email Address field, set the email address you want to use for the status message.
  5. Click Overwrite. The Status section will display the progress of the overwrite process.
  6. When the load is complete, download the log.
