Exporting, Importing, and Copying a Transformation Specification for FHIR SQL Builder

Exporting a Transformation Specification

Transformation specifications can be exported to allow you to share these specifications with other users or instances, where they can be imported. To export a transformation specification, click the Export icon on the row of the Transformation Specifications table on the home page. A JSON file will be downloaded to you local file system. This file can be shared and imported into other systems.

Importing a Transformation Specification

A previously exported transformation specification can be re-imported on the same system or imported on another system.

To import a transformation specification, click on the Import button on the Transformation Specifications table on the home page. You will then be prompted to select the JSON transformation specification file that you want to import from your file system. When a valid file is selected, the Import Transformation Specification dialog will open with the following fields:

• Name – The name of the imported transformation specification. This will be pre-populated from the JSON file, but can be edited here.

• Analysis – The completed FHIR repository analysis from which to build the transformation specification. The analysis should have resources that correspond with the resources in the transformation specification.

• Description – A brief description to help distinguish between specifications. This will be pre-populated from the JSON file, but can be edited here.

Click the Import button to complete the import process. The new specification will appear in the Transformation Specifications table.

Copying a Transformation Specification

Any existing transformation specification can be copied to create a new specification with a new name and description. This new specification can be further modified and used, independent of its original specification.

To copy a transformation specification, click the Copy icon on the row of the Transformation Specifications table on the home page. Fill out the dialog box as follows:

• Name – The name of this new specification. This will come pre-populated as “Copy of transformation,” where transformation is the name of the transformation specification that is being copied.

• Description – A brief description to help distinguish between specifications. Like the Name field, this will come pre-populated as “Copy of transformation,” where transformation is the name of the transformation specification that is being copied.

Click the Copy button to complete the copy process. The new specification will appear in the Transformation Specifications table.
