Preparing the EIM Tables for Export Processing

Unlike other Open Interfaces processes, an export process requires minimal preparation of the EIM tables. During the first step of export processing, EIM inspects each EIM table involved in the process. If EIM finds a row whose if_row_batch_num matches the batch number for this export process, it does one of the following:

• Clear the row if the CLEAR INTERFACE TABLES parameter is set to TRUE in the EIM configuration file
• Issue a warning if the CLEAR INTERFACE TABLES parameter is set to FALSE in the EIM configuration file

For information on the CLEAR INTERFACE TABLES parameter, see Parameters Used for Exports in Both the Header and Process Sections.
