Importing Data from a File in the EPM Integration Agent Inbox

You can import data from a file located in a local EPM Integration Agent inbox folder and then have the agent upload and process the file.

Note:

This feature enables you to use a file in an EPM Integration Agent inbox without having to use an EPM Automate command to import the file first.

To stage a file to an EPM Integration Agent inbox:

1. Create an inbox folder under the <EPMAgentData> application folder to which to copy a file.
2. In agent startup parameters file, specify the location of the inbox in the EPM_AGENT_INBOX parameter field.

   1. Go to the <EPMAgentDevData\config> directory.

   2. Double click the agentparams.ini file to open it using a text editor such as Notepad.

   3. In the EPM_AGENT_INBOX parameter, specify the full directory of the EPM Integration Agent inbox and save the file.

      

3. On the Data Integration home page, click to the right of the file-based integration, and then select Options.

4. Select the Options tab.

5. In Directory, enter #agentinbox and click Save.

   

6. Stage the file to the inbox that you created in step 1.
