Guidelines for Using Enterprise Integration Manager with an MLOV

Enterprise Integration Manager (EIM) can import and export data. You can import data into the list of values table and other tables in Siebel CRM. If you use Enterprise Integration Manager with an MLOV, then use the following guidelines:

• If you import data into the list of values table, then you must make sure the source table includes a language code and a name-value pair. This pair includes the display value and the language-independent code.

• If you import data into any other table, then you must provide a language code for the LANGUAGE command-line parameter for EIM. The source table must include the display value for multilingual columns in the language defined in the parameter. EIM validates imported data against list of values entries. It converts incoming data to the related language-independent code during the import.

• When EIM validates MLOV values during an import, it ignores list of values entries that are marked inactive.

• During an export, you must define a language code for the LANGUAGE parameter so that EIM can correctly translate the language-independent code in the table to the display value.
