Outbound Configurations

Outbound configurations can be imported from a remote source RALS™ SYSTEM into the destination RALS™ SYSTEM.

Select Source

When importing outbound configurations, the following fields allow the destination RALS™ SYSTEM to connect to the remote source RALS™ SYSTEM:

Select Data

After the destination RALS™ SYSTEM has connected to the remote source RALS™ SYSTEM, the outbound configurations available for import will be displayed in a table. You can filter, sort, select, and de-select outbound configurations in this table. Selected outbound configurations will be processed for import.

Select Mappings

For each outbound connection on the source system associated with a selected outbound configuration, you must select a mapping on the destination system. This applies to both incoming and outgoing connections. When you create new outbound configurations, they will be added to the destination system with the mapped connection. If you edit an existing outbound configuration, it will retain the connection selected on the destination system.

Review Import

Prior to import, you can review outbound configurations import information, including:

If any specimen types and parameters will be added during the import, they will be included in the Other Data count. When the same parameter or specimen type exists across multiple resource records to be imported, it will be included in the count only once.

All selected outbound configurations, including configurations that will be imported and configurations that will not be imported, will be displayed in the TSV file for your reference.

General Rules of Migration Import

During the import, the RALS™ SYSTEM compares the outbound configuration between the remote source and destination systems. If any data is missing on the destination system, the RALS™ SYSTEM creates it during import. This data encompasses parameters, specimen types, test types, and panels. The name comparisons for these elements are case-insensitive. Edited outbound configurations are updated with the values from the remote source system, but the institution and location assignments, and additional institutions are not changed. In addition, the incoming and outgoing connections on the destination system are not changed.

When a parameter, specimen type, test type or panel is only on the destination system and not on the remote source system, then the RALS™ SYSTEM will remove it from the outbound configuration on the destination system.

Outbound configurations added via import are not assigned to any institution or default, regardless of assignments present on the remote source system.

In specific scenarios, outbound configurations will not be migrated. If there is a match on the outbound configuration name between the remote source system and the destination system, but there’s no match on the device type or interface type, then the configuration will not be migrated. The outbound migration of Configurable Device Drivers is not currently supported. If a selected outbound configuration cannot be imported, then an error will be included in the debug log.
