Export/Import of Methods

Methods are automatically included in distribution if:

• Scheme Versions are exported/imported: CCMETHOD.ID=CCSCHEMEVERSION.METHOD_ID

The following data is included when a Method record is exported/imported:

• All fields in the record, except for those specified as being cleared, and Creation User and Last Mod User which are cleared also.

  • Laboratory (should be empty anyway since only org-scope methods can be approved for export)

  • Authorised by user

• Specific links to other records are maintained, and the linked record is exported/imported if it does not already exist in the destination organisation.

  • Method category, as Category record

  • Method text, as Text record

• Related child or group member records are exported/imported.
  • Method accreditation bodies, as Method Accreditation Body records
• All related EFS files (for example, scripts, images) are exported/imported.

  • Method document

• All related custom attributes and related content are exported/imported.
• All related I18n records are exported/imported for all exported/imported records.
