PDBI import file configuration

Import files that are placed in the Remote Import Directory on the remote server specified in the Remote Import Host IP Address field on the PDBI options page are detected within five minutes and automatically downloaded via SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) to the file management storage area on the active server of the Primary NOAM. For a file to be imported it must:

• be properly named following the naming convention. For more information about PDBI import file names, see File name formats.
• have been placed in the remote directory after the time when PDBI import last ran
• must not have been previously imported. A file that has already been imported into the local directory will not be imported again, even if its status is Failed.
  Note: To import a previously Failed file, correct the file as necessary, rename the file, and then place the renamed file in the remote directory.
