Import Status

This page allows an operator to view and monitor the status of all import operations. Import records with a status of Completed or Failed can be deleted from this table.

Data can be imported from a provisioning import file to add new or updated data to the database. The values within the file are used to populate the database. The import file is an ASCII text file that contains a series of database manipulation requests. Each request must be formatted on a single line.

Import files are placed in the Remote Import Directory on the remote server specified in Remote Host IP Address field on the Provisioning Options page (UDR > Configuration > Provisioning Options). The files are detected within five minutes and are automatically resynched over SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) to the file management storage area on the active server. This Local Import Directory is hardcoded on the Provisioning Options page.

For a file to be imported, it must:

• be properly named following the naming convention. (XML import files must have *.ixml file extensions.)
• have been placed in the remote directory after the time when provisioning 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.
