Preparing the EIM Tables for Import Processing
This section explains how to prepare the EIM tables for a subsequent import into a Siebel database. To import data, EIM reads data in the EIM tables and writes data in the appropriate Siebel base tables by making multiple passes through the EIM tables to:
- Set initial values for some columns in the EIM tables
- Apply filter logic to select rows for importing
- Generate foreign key references and internal values
- Add or update relevant Siebel database rows
- Update each EIM table row to indicate its import status
For general information on EIM tables, see Siebel EIM Tables.
