Import a data configuration

When you import data configurations from an Oracle account, you register them for use with the Oracle Empirica Signal application. When you import, all of the data configurations in the specified Oracle account are imported or re-imported.

If a data configuration has been deleted permanently, it cannot be re-imported. If it has had references to it removed, but has not been deleted permanently, it can be re-imported.

A data configuration cannot be imported or re-imported if there is another data configuration with the same name in another Oracle account.

In most cases, data configurations are created within the Oracle Empirica Signal application. If created outside of the application, a data configuration must have the same table structure as if it was defined within the application.

1. In the left navigation pane, click the Settings icon ().
2. In the Configure System section, click Manage Configurations.
3. Click Import Configurations.
4. Select a configuration from the list, or select a different account by clicking Import Configurations from a Different Account.
   1. Identify the Oracle account.
   2. Choose whether to add the configurations to an existing database group or to a new database group.
   3. Click OK.
5. Once imported, you can perform the following actions on the data configuration:
   • Edit the data configurations that you imported, as necessary. In some cases, changes to the Oracle tables that are referenced by the configuration (such as the drilldown map table) might be required. Existing data configurations that are re-imported retain their permissions, so you do not need to re-assign the permissions unless you want to change them.
   • Validate the data configurations that you imported. When a configuration is imported or re-imported, it must be revalidated before it can be used to create new runs, queries, case series, or saved lists. Existing runs, queries, case series, and saved lists based on a re-imported configuration might not work correctly until the configuration is revalidated.
   • If you have modified a data configuration, test it by selecting it for tasks in the application. You have not yet assigned permissions to the data configuration, but you can use it because you are the data configuration owner.
   • Validate the data configuration again if you made changes to it. Even if the only change was to assign permissions, you must validate the data configuration again.
