Importing Geocode Data


The geocode data includes location references. You can import Geocode data in one of the following ways:

  • Using the Import command in Siebel Call Center.
  • Using Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager. For information about importing data with Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager, see Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager Administration Guide.

The imported geocode data is stored in the (S_ZIPCODE) database table. Table 4 shows the columns in this database table that must have data.
