Comment sets can be imported from a remote source RALS™ SYSTEM into the destination RALS™ SYSTEM.

Select Source

When importing comment sets, 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 comment sets available for import will be displayed in a table. Only the user-defined comment sets are displayed for selection, not the default comment sets. You can filter, sort, select, and de-select comment sets in this table. Selected comment sets will be processed for import.

Select Mappings

For each institution in the source system that corresponds to a selected comment set, you need to select a mapping for the destination system. Newly added comment sets are mapped to the selected institution, while updated comment sets maintain the institution selected in the destination system.

Review Import

Prior to import, you can review comment sets import information, including:

All selected commment sets, 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 imports the values from the remote source system into the destination system.

Uniqueness of comment sets is determined by the comment sets name (case insensitive) and device type. When there is no match between the source system and the destination system, it is considered a new comment set which will be added to the destination system. When an existing comment set is edited in the destination system, the values will be updated from the source system. However, the institution and location in the destination system will remain the same. When a comment is only on the destination system and not on the remote source system, it will remain on the destination system, but be deactivated. If the same comment code exists in both the source system and destination system for the same device type, the destination comment is updated with the source value.

It is recommended that you enable the relevant device types in the destination system before importing. A device type does not need to be enabled in the destination system in order for the import to occur. However, if the device type is not enabled, you will be unable to see the comment set until you enable the device type.

In specific scenarios, comment sets will not be imported. The RALS™ SYSTEM does not support importing comment sets for configurable device drivers or default comment sets. When there is a match on comment set name and device type between the source and destination, but a mismatch on institution, the comment set will not be imported. If a selected comment set cannot be imported, then an error will be included in the debug log.
