Import a subscription data release

Use the Subscription Data Releases administration page to view available data releases, review their release notes, and import the releases of your choice into Oracle Empirica Signal.

To import a data release that is available to you, perform the following steps.

1. In the left navigation pane, click the Settings icon ().
2. In the Configure System section, click Manage Subscription Data Releases.
3. Click a data offering's Row Action menu (), and click Import.

   Note:

   If the status of the data release is Local, it exists locally and you cannot import it. You can view the release notes.

   If the status of the data release is Suspended, your subscription is no longer active and you cannot import it. You can view the release notes.

4. Choose whether you want to create Standard Runs and Report Outputs. You may receive one or more choices depending on the data offering. See the Release Notes for the particular data release for more details.

   Note:

   The report outputs that can be created along with the data release import are summary reports for use by Drug Profiles.
5. Choose whether to notify All users or Selected users when the release is available.
   If you chose Selected users, choose them from a list of available users. Then click OK.

   Note:

   When notifying all users, the users cannot see the list of other recipients.
6. Specify whether to add the data mining run to an existing or new project.
   • If you choose Existing, select the project from the Project Name drop-down list.
   • If you choose New, enter the Project name.
7. In the License Agreements section, select and confirm all of the statements associated with the licenses and dictionaries you are importing.
8. Click Submit.
   • Oracle Empirica Signal runs the import job in the background.
   • You can track the progress of the import by hovering on the background processing indicator ().
   • The Status column on the Manage Subscription Data Releases table updates to Running or In Queue.
   • If an issue is encountered during the import, the Status column displays Error Occurred.

   Note:

   if you cancel an import while another import is in the queue, the second import run may fail.

   If you encounter this error, re-import the data release run that failed.

   To avoid this error, submit only one subscription data import run at a time. Wait until the initial import run's status changes to Loaded before submitting another import request.

9. When the import completes, view the objects associated with the imported data release.
   • The Status of the data release is updated to Loaded.
   • The Imported column updates with the date and time of the import.
   • Configurations for the imported data release are available on the Manage Configurations page. The imported configurations will be of Type Managed. You may need to add the Type column to the Manage Configuration page.

     Note:

     After import, if the Enable multi-enterprise support checkbox was selected, then the imported Argus configurations will be listed on the Manage Configurations page as Type Argus ME.
   • Standard runs, if requested, will be available immediately on the Data Mining Runs page. The runs will be published to all login groups.
   • If report outputs were requested, then the jobs for the summary reports are submitted. Once finished, the report outputs will be published to all currently available login groups.
   • If the data release specifies aliases and aliases did not already exist, then aliases are created. Existing aliases are updated only if the data offering is for a later date then the current alias.
   • Email notifications are sent to users as requested in the import request. The recipient list is not visible to individual recipients.
10. To examine the import details, click the data release's Row Action menu (), and click View Log.
