Import ClueData

The following instructions explain how to import ClueData for a SNOMED CT Edition from an ClueData archive file. CliniClue also offers a more efficient process if the ClueData for the Edition is hosted on the CliniClue web repository. In this case you can download and import the data in a single process.

To import ClueData from compressed (zip) file:

If the CliniClue Xplore Browser is running, exit from the Browser. This is essential if the update applies to the current selected Edition. The importer cannot update files that are open.
Run the ClueData update program Start > All Programs > CliniClue Xplore > CliniClue ClueData Update
If you already have the ClueData archive file, select the tab labelled Update from a File.
Use the Browse button to locate the ClueData archive file. A ClueData archive file has a name like Sct[EditionKey]_[DateKey].zip.
- [EditionKey]: An abbreviation for the SNOMED CT Edition.
  - Examples, Intl=International Edition, Uk=UK NHS Edition, Es=Spanish Edition, Cafr=Canadian French Edition, etc.
- [DateKey]: The date of release of the SNOMED CT Edition in ISO format.
  - Example, 20090131=Data released on 31st January 2009.
Use the drop-down list in the lower frame to select the target folder into which the ClueData will be imported.
Now click the Import button. The data import process may be almost instanteous for a small extension Edition. Otherwise a progress bar will allow you to monitor the rate of progress. Possible error message: An error '6' or a report of an import failure has three possible causes:
- The target folder may be locked. If any CliniClue process other than the ClueData Updater is running close it and try again.
- The ClueData archive may match the installed CliniClue version. For example, ClueData intended for use in CliniClue 2006 may cause an error if imported by CliniClue Xplore. Ensure you have a CliniClue Xplore data archive.
- The ClueData archive may be damaged. Try downloading the file again.
