Import Wizard - Review Conflicts and Actions Page

The Import Wizard - Review Conflicts and Actions page opens when a difference exists between an object in the archive file and the same object in the repository; and typically when you want to overwrite or merge objects during an import. This page contains the following elements – for information on how to review and (if required) modify the information on this page, see Importing Objects From an Archive.

  • Conflicting Objects Tree Applet. A hierarchical list of objects (from all levels, not just top-level objects) that have conflicts. The hierarchy uses the same structure as the object type hierarchy in the repository but it displays only objects that have conflicts, rather than all repository objects.

  • Object Differences. This section lists all objects that include a difference. The following table describes the fields in this section.

    Field Description

    File

    If this check box is selected, then the object exists in the archive file. An object can exist in both the archive file and in the repository.

    Repository

    If this check box is selected, then the object exists in the repository. An object can exist in both the archive file and in the repository.

    Action

    Indicates the proposed resolution for the object, which can be one of the following values: File, Repository, or Merge.

    Siebel uses the choice that you made in the Conflict Resolution section of the Import Wizard - Preview page (see step 5 in Importing Objects From an Archive) to determine what action to take (and specifies the action in this field).

    To modify the value in this field, click the drop-down arrow in this field and select another value. For a description of these values, see Options to Resolve a Conflict.

  • Attribute Differences. This section displays the property value conflicts for the selected object in the Object Differences section. It lists only the properties that include a conflict. The terms attribute and property have the same meaning in Siebel CRM. The following table describes the fields in the Attribute Differences section.

    Field Description

    Attribute

    Name of the object.

    File

    Value of the object in the archive.

    Repository

    Value of the object in the repository.

    Resolution

    Specifies one of the following values:

    • File. Deletes the value in the repository during the import and replaces it with the value from the archive file.

    • Repository. Keeps the value (does not modify the value) in the repository during the import.

    Depending on the value in the Action field in the Object Differences section, you can change the value in the Resolution field as follows:
    • If the Action field contains the Merge value, then you can modify the resolution value. Click the drop-down arrow in the Resolution field and then select either Repository or File.

    • If the Action field contains the Repository or File value, then you cannot modify the resolution value.
