9.1   Import Wizard

The import wizard provides the possibility to import rating manager configuration into the current navigator element.

The imported configuration is in the format of an XML file in a structure recognized by ERE. The files are generated by exporting rating manager configuration from another RMA using the export wizard, see Section 9.2 for a description of this tool.

The types of content that may be imported are:

• An entire rating manager configuration.
• Navigator elements, such as a service or a rating plan.
• Selection trees.
• TDFs, only available when importing to the Tree Defined Fields editor. See Section 6.6.2 for more information on the editor.

When importing content to the current configuration, the user is prompted to choose if the imported and existing configuration are to be merged if some of the structures imported already exist in the current configuration. Choosing Stop cancels the import. Choosing Yes merges the two configurations, where the user can choose which structures are to be merged. The user is also prompted if such things as start dates conflict and so can manually change them.

It is possible to force the import of a service definition that is not consistent, but this is not recommended.

The application that integrates ERE may set restrictions on the content that may be imported. A warning will be shown and the import action canceled

The wizard may be opened in several different ways, depending on where in RMA the user is currently working. The different ways are:

• Selecting Import from the rating manager menu.
• While having the desired element active, select the Import from file icon from the RMA toolbar.
• While having the desired element active, press ctrl + I.
• Drag and drop content to a navigator element or a service editor.
