Launching Import Requests and Tracking the Import Status


After creating a list record, identifying the import mode, and mapping list columns to database columns, you can import the list and then track the request's status.

To launch a list import request

  1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > List Management > Lists.
  2. In the Lists list, select the list you want to import.
  3. Click the List Import view tab.
  4. In the List Import form, click Launch Import.

To track the status of an import request

After you submit the import request, the status field on the List Import list contains a value of In Progress. You can refresh this view to track the status of your request. When the import is finished, the status field contains a value of Successfully Completed.

NOTE:  You can review the List Import task status in the Components view in the Server Administration screen. In the Component Tasks list, select tasks for the List Import Service Manager. Alternatively, you can review List Import log files stored in the Siebel file system.
