Import a workflow configuration account

You can import files from Oracle Empirica Signal 9.1 and previous releases.

Note:

This option is used when installing or upgrading the Oracle Empirica Signal application. Typically, you do not need to perform this process during regular system use.

When you import topic workflow configurations from an Oracle account, the application does the following:

  • Adds any new topic workflow configurations found in the Oracle account.
  • Re-imports any topic workflow configurations found in the Oracle account that have been deleted from the application by having references removed. Any topics (and comments associated with them) that existed at the time of the deletion are also restored.

Note:

If a topic workflow configuration has been deleted permanently, it cannot be re-imported.

A confirmation dialog box displays after topic workflow configurations are imported successfully. The import does not affect your current or existing topic workflow configurations.

  1. In the left navigation pane, click the Settings icon (Settings icon).
  2. In the Configure System section, click Manage Topic Workflow Configurations.
  3. Click Import Workflow Configuration Account.

    A confirmation dialog box appears.

  4. Click OK.
  5. (Recommended) Test the topic workflow configuration before you assign it to a login group. To test, do the following:
    1. Set your user preference for Topic Workflow Configuration to the new configuration.

      Note:

      Only users with the Manage Topic Workflow Configurations permission can set this preference.
    2. Log out and log back in.
    3. Click the Topics page to add and edit topics that use the new configuration.
    4. When you are finished, assign the topic workflow configuration to the login group.
