Bulk Import and Export CSV File Formats and Contents

CSV File Formats and Contents

DSR Bulk Import and Export files support an ASCII Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file format.

• The configuration data described in each table in this help section is contained in a single line in the CSV file.
• The first field or column of each line defines the Application Type; see Table 5-3.
• The second column describes the configuration data type, such as LocalNode, PeerNode, or RouteList.
• Subsequent fields or columns contain the associated configuration data.
• Fields containing text that includes spaces or commas are enclosed in double quotes.
• Element values that are selected using radio buttons on the GUI page are shown as separate fields or columns in the CSV Format tables. A selected value appears in its field or column; an unselected value is shown as just two commas in the file (...,,...) to maintain the positioning in the file.
• The CSV file can include optional comment lines for documenting within the file. Comment lines must begin with a pound sign (#) in the first column, and can be included on any line of the file.
• All text fields within the CSV file containing comma (,), double quotes ("), newline (\n), tab (\t), carriage return (\r) or their combinations are double quoted.
