## Confirming Import Processes

| A confirmation (receipt file) must be sent back to the originating site of an export package. When the data of a particular export package has been made available at the target site a receipt package can be created and sent back to the originating site. The receipt file of the import process confirms that all imported files have been integrated successfully. A log containing the file names and version information of all imported files is created after a successful import process. This log can be later be evaluated to determine the files for incremental exports. A receipt file confirming the successful import of data is sent back to the originating site. Depending on the actual media type, the receipt file is stored in the acknow directory for the particular media type at the originating site, e.g.: eer/acknow/Tape/dre.
| To initiate the import process for a receipt, select Manager > Tools > Replication > Data Exchange (EER) > Replicate data > Import Process (Receipt).
