Required Initial Values for Special Columns

Each row to be imported must contain the data you want to import and the appropriate values in the following columns:

ROW_ID. This value, in combination with the nonempty contents of IF_ROW_BATCH_NUM, must yield a unique value.

IF_ROW_BATCH_NUM. Set this value to an identifying number for all rows to be processed as a batch.

IF_ROW_STAT. In each row to be imported, set this column to FOR_IMPORT to indicate that the row has not been imported. After processing, if certain rows were not imported due to a data error, you should change:

• IF_ROW_BATCH_NUM value for the rows that require reimporting
• BATCH parameter in the configuration file
