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.

Note:

The same dictionary files and MDB files saved locally can be used to load the dictionaries into other environments, for example Development, Validation or Production. This can be achieved via the respective Argus console screen.

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 Life Sciences Customer Support Portal.

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