About Bulk Loyalty Membership Administration

For bulk membership administration, the input file can be formatted as a flat file, an XML file or a CSV file. This input file is read into a Siebel property set using Siebel EAI. This property set is then broken down into smaller work units, each typically containing about a hundred records. Each work unit is then passed as input to the method ProcessWorkUnit(). This method delegates processing to the Siebel Workflow described in LOY Bulk Member Admin Process Workflow.

The work units are processed asynchronously, making use of available CPU capacity, which allows the user to continue using Siebel Loyalty during processing. The work units are processed in parallel, improving performance.
