FOR FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING HUB (FAH) APPLICATIONS ONLY, the “Overwrite” option has been removed from the Application Accounting Definition (AAD) Import application since RPC5.
The ‘Overwrite’ option has been replaced with ‘Purge Application Accounting Definition Setup’.
When ‘Purge Application Accounting Definition Setup’ parameter is set to “Yes” then:
• The existing AAD is cleared. Before the clearing the existing AAD is exported to the directory specified by newly added parameter “Destination Directory Path”,
• The new AAD is imported.
This functionality is equivalent to the “Overwrite” option.
So, when using, you should be able to import older versions of AAD’s.
Example:
| PARAMETERS | |
| AMB Context | Default |
| Source File Path name | <full path to your file being imported> |
| Merge Analysis | No |
| Import Option | Merge |
| Validate | No |
| Purge Application Accounting Definition Setup | Yes |
| Destination Directory Path | <full path to a directory where the old ADD to be saved> |
| Purge Application Accounting Definition History | No |
Note: These parameters are greyed out for seeded applications. There is no change in existing functionality for seeded applications.)
