Exporting and Importing Templates within SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing

This video will review and demonstrate how to export and import project workspace templates in SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing. Exporting templates may be useful if you want to move templates to another realm, such as a development realm to a production realm. When exporting a template, save the resulting zip file. The system will automatically title the name of the file with the ID of the workspace template. It is recommended that you rename this file to the name of the template so if you need to use it later, you'll know which file it is. You can export templates in any status, draft, active, inactive. You can even export previous versions from the version history tab. This can be especially helpful if you would like to revert back to a prior version of a template. Since a published template can't be reverted, you can export the desired version and import it back into the system. This will overwrite the published version and would be one of the few reasons you export and import within the same site. It is important to remember that you can only export one template at a time and the destination site must match the site it came from. Both instances must also share the same master data. It is a best practice to build templates in the test realm first and use import, export to move templates between the test and production realms. Now let's export a template as a zip file from the Overview tab, Properties, Actions, and Export template. Save the zip file and select the location where it was saved and select a name for the zip and save it. Once you've exported a template, you can import it back into the system. To import the template, go to Manage, Templates, and either select the Actions option or a folder and select Import Template. In the upload prompt, you will select the zip file in the choose file option. Below is a checkbox that will substitute missing master data values with random values. When importing a template, if master data does not exist in the destination site, random master data may be substituted in the imported template for any missing references. If you choose to replace with random master data, the system will select any user regardless of permission and assign them within the project. The system notifies what is not found and replaced and the template creator must check the template's random values and replace them manually as needed. Determine that the rest of the template has imported properly by checking the remainder of the template. Please consult our product documentation for additional information about exporting and importing project workspace templates.
