Launching Import Requests and Tracking the Import Status

After creating a list record, identifying the Matching Approach and Match Resolution, and mapping list columns to database columns, you can import the list and track the status of the request.

To launch a list import request

1. Navigate to the List Management screen > Lists view.
2. Click the list name.
3. Click the List Import view tab.
4. In the List Import form, click Launch Import.

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.

There are three methods that can be used to view the status and details of an import job:

• During the import process, end users and administrators can review the List Import task status in the List Management > System Tasks view.
• Administrators can also view the log details for the List Import server task in the Components view in the Server Management Administration screen. In the Component Tasks list, select tasks for the List Import Service Manager.
• Administrators can also review List Import log files.
