Import document definitions

You can export document definitions and then import them again.

This can be useful, for example if you want to export one or more document definitions, optimize them in a test system, and then re-import them into your production system. However, it is important to note, in this case, that database settings (master data, for example) must be similar for both systems. If you mix different formats, errors will occur or definitions will be duplicated.

Note This procedure is different from importing document profiles and associated objects. In this procedure, only document definitions are imported. However, the entire document profile is included in the file for validation purposes.
  1. Using Manager, click the Document definitions button. The Document definitions list is displayed.
  2. Right-click the Document definitions list and select Import.
  3. Adjust the settings in the Import document definitions dialog.

    If the Code page for Unicode upgrade setting is visible, select the code page of the ANSI data that the EHIX file (replaces old EHI file) contains.

  4. Click Import. The document definitions are imported to the document profile with the same name as the profile they were exported from. If a document profile with that name does not exist, it is automatically created from the file you imported.
