BulkOpImportCreateRequest
Creates a bulk import request. Usage
Use the BulkOpImportCreateRequest method to create a bulk import request. The arguments taken by the method correspond to elements in the WSDL file, as described in Table 174. The xsdLocal1:ImportOptions argument specifies the import options, which are similar to the options available in the Import Wizard in the Oracle CRM On Demand application:
- CSVDelimiter. The type of CSV delimiter used in the file: comma (,) or semi-colon (;).
- DateTimeFormat. The date and time format used in the CSV file: usa, can, eur, uk, other.
- DuplicateCheckOption. Whether the Row Id (rowid) or external ID (externalid) are used for duplicate checking.
- ErrorLogLevel. The level of error logging:
- all. All messages
- errors. Error messages only.
- errorswarnings. Error messages and warning messages only.
Typical customer import data is contained in a CSV file with the following format: ColumnName1, ColumnName2, ...
Data1, Data2, ...
Data1, Data2, ...
...
The xsdLocal1:ListOfFieldMappings element specifies the mapping of CSV column names to field names in Oracle CRM On Demand. For example: <ns1:ListOfFieldMappings>
<ns1:FieldMapping>
<ns1:CSVColumnName>
Web Site
</ns1:CSVColumnName>
<ns1:FieldName>
Home Page
</ns1:FieldName>
</ns1:FieldMapping>
</ns1:ListOfFieldMappings>
CSVColumnHeaders specifies the list of CSV column names, for example: <ns0:CSVColumnHeaders>
"Account Name","External Unique Id","Web Site","Account Location"
</ns0:CSVColumnHeaders>
The mappings are validated and if everything is correct, the import request is created. Arguments
Table 174 describes the arguments taken by the BulkOpImportCreateRequest method.
