Importing Syndicated Data Files (End User)

If data extracts have been routed to the end users by the Siebel administrator, the end users receive notification when they synchronize your local database. During synchronization, the data extracts are downloaded to their hard drives (as attachments), where they are stored until you import them. After they import the data into their local databases, the files are deleted from their hard drives.

NOTE:  If you want to postpone receiving data extracts until a later time, turn off the Retrieve Published Files option in your synchronization setup. To find this option, choose File > Synchronize, and then click Setup in the Siebel Remote dialog box.

To import syndicated data extracts

1. Navigate to the Syndicated Data Files screen.

   NOTE:  Even if you postponed receiving data extract files by turning off the Retrieve Published Files option in your synchronization setup, this view displays records for all the files routed to you. Although the files are listed here, you cannot import them until you have received them during a subsequent synchronization.

2. Select one or more files and click Import.

   The Syndicated Data Files view is cleared, and the data extract files that you received during synchronization are deleted from your hard drive.
