Importing Syndicated Data Files

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

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 Syndicated Data Files > Syndicated Data Files.

    2. 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.

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