RIM Maintenance allows you to load data to your Vault or extract data from your Vault in bulk. RIM Maintenance is similar to Vault Loader, but it performs jobs specific to RIM applications. Extracted information downloads to a CSV or Excel file, which you can load back into your Vault or into other systems.

In the current release, you can use RIM Maintenance to extract and load content plan Constraints and Application relationships and to import MedDRA terminology.

How to Use RIM Maintenance

To use RIM Maintenance:

  1. Navigate to the RIM Maintenance tab.
  2. In the left panel, click Load or Extract.
  3. Select an Action.
  4. Select an Action Type when applicable.
  5. Loading: Click Choose and browse to your file.
  6. Click Load or Extract.

Vault begins processing the request. When finished, you’ll receive a Vault notification and email with request details and the CSV output files.

Notifications & Output Files

Vault shows the status of loader jobs in Admin > Operations > Job Status and also sends notifications for both successes and failures. Admins can modify the notification message templates if needed.

Success & Failure Log Files

After each load, Vault creates separate success and failure logs as CSV files. You can download these files from the Vault notification or email. Both files contain the system-managed id values for each record.

Failure Logs

Failure logs include:

  • Error messages for each record that failed to load
  • Original data alongside corresponding errors
  • Row IDs from the original CSV file for the corresponding row

You can review and fix errors from within the error log. Once you correct any errors, you can re-import the failure log.
