The exported setup data of an implementation project is available as a configuration package.
To do this task, you need the Export Import Functional Setups User (ORA_ASM_FUNCTIONAL_SETUPS_USER_ABSTRACT) role. You also need an appropriate application administrator role or a role with task-specific privileges to migrate the setup data. And, you need access to additional roles if you're importing certain business objects.
To import setup data from a configuration package, follow these steps.

Waiting for Manual Import: If a setup task requires manual data entry before the import process can continue, the status reads Waiting for Manual Import. Click Go to Task for the corresponding business object to open the setup user interface. Alternatively, you can enter the setup data manually. After you enter the required setup data, click Resume from the Export and Import Process Results page, or from the Manage Configuration Packages page to restart the import process.
-
Waiting to review errors: If you selected the Pause process each time an error occurs option when you created the import process, this status displays when the import process encounters an error while running. Click corresponding to the specific business object to review the error details. Take appropriate corrective action and click Resume from the Export and Import Process Results page, or from the Manage Configuration Package page.
Optionally, you may skip the business object that generated the error, and continue from the next object. However, skip these business objects only if you're certain that the error was fixed in the environment, and that the import process doesn't require reprocessing the business object.
-
Completed with errors: When the process completes with errors, click corresponding to the business objects with errors, to review the error details.

Create a new import process after you correct the errors.
