Vault lets you export a dossier for each submission and select specific components within the eCTD structure, if needed. Because the export maintains the same folder structure used during import, you can use this option to leverage exported submissions or components for other regions. Exporting can also simplify the process of distributing dossiers with local affiliates or publishing partners.
If you need to export all the submissions for an application, see Using Bulk Submission Export.
Note: This feature is only available on RIM Submissions Archive Vaults.
How to Export
To export a submission dossier:
- Navigate to the Submission record in Admin > Business Admin or a custom tab.
- Choose Export from the Actions menu.
- From the Refine Selection page, review the structure of components. Select Export entire submission archive to include all components, or use the checkboxes to select specific components or subsections. If a Submission has Enable Continuous Publishing set to Yes, the exported dossier package may be incomplete. You should check the
export_results.txtfile and review any warnings or errors - Click Next.
- From the Confirmation page, review the summary. Click Finish to begin exporting.
- Vault sends a notification when the process is complete. Click the included link to download a ZIP file.
Note: Vault will not include the following characters in the file name of an export: <,>,:,”“,/,|,?,*
Exporting Large Submissions
If submissions exceed Vault export limits and you have the correct permissions, you can choose to export the submissions to the Vault File Staging Server rather than reducing your export size. To access the Staging Server, see Accessing Your Vault’s File Staging Server.
You can find all exported content in the Submissions Archive Export folder, within your personal user folder on the Staging Server. The folder structure and folders match those used during submission import. From here, you can download the export at your convenience. Your export also includes a Manifest log file, an Export Summary file, correspondence documents (if enabled), and a failure log file.
You must have a security profile with both the RIM Submissions Archive: Export and File Staging: Access permissions to export large submissions to the Staging Server.
Limits
Vault places some limits on exports:
- Exports cannot include more than 50,000 files.
- The total export cannot exceed 5.3GB (5368709120 bytes).
