Import Example

---

This chapter focuses on how NREC used EIM to import its account data into the Siebel database. To do this, the NREC system administrator needed to load the applicable interface table (EIM_ACCOUNT), prepare the NRECimp.ifb configuration file, and run the EIM import process. This chapter provides the information for this example in the following order:

Account data that will be loaded into the EIM_ACCOUNT interface table

See Using the Interface Tables for information about how to load an interface table, including finding out which columns are mandatory.

Configuration file

See A Sample Configuration File to view the contents of the .ifb file that you will use to customize the behavior of the EIM process. There is also a brief explanation of the parameters that appear in the configuration file.
