Editing the Configuration File for Import Processing

This section describes the header and process sections that you need in the EIM configuration file to properly configure EIM for an import process. For general information on the EIM configuration file, see EIM Configuration File.

Before import processing begins, you must change the configuration file to support this function. Such changes include:

• Editing the header and process sections and parameters
• Adjusting settings in the configuration file for various purposes. See Special Considerations for Imports.

CAUTION:  To prepare for recovery in the event of an unexpected problem, back up your existing database before you begin an import process.
