Configuring the Import Process

An administrator can configure the import process to:

• Validate the data in the import file.

  By default, the data in the import file is not validated.

• Not allow users to click the name of the template in the File Name field for an action set to access an imported template file.

  By default, users can click the name of the template to access the imported template file. If users import multiple template files for the action sets in a bulk request, then they can access only the template file that was last imported.

• Recognize a new name for the import workflow process that an administrator creates.

This task is a step in Roadmap for Configuring Bulk Requests.

To configure the import process

1. Log in to Siebel Tools as an administrator.
2. In the Object Explorer, click Workflow Process.
3. In the Workflow Processes list, select ABO Bulk Request Import Workflow.
4. To validate the data in the import file, configure the process properties for this workflow process:
   1. For the To Validate Flag process property, change the Default String field in the Multi Value Property Window to Y.
   2. For the Log File process property, change the Default String field in the Multi Value Property Window to the path to the import log file.

      For information about changing a process property and about deploying a changed workflow process, see Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide.

5. In the Object Explorer, click Applet.
6. In the Applets list, select ABO Bulk Request List Applet.
7. Select Tools, then Lock Project so that you can change the applet.
8. Navigate to Applet, then Applet User Prop in Object Explorer, and configure the user properties for this applet:
   1. To not allow users to click the name of the template in the File Name field for an action set to access the imported template file, change the Value field to N for the Attach File user property.
   2. To recognize a new name for an import workflow process that you create, change the Value field to the new name of the import workflow process in the Import Workflow user property.
9. Compile the object for your changes into the Siebel Repository File (SRF).
10. Select Tools, then Unlock Project.
