Import Your Campaign Data
You can use Import Management to create or update Campaign records.
To import Campaign records, perform the following tasks:
-
Map your source data to Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes.
-
Create source Comma Separated Values (CSV) file for import.
-
Create the import activity.
-
Review the import results.
How You Map Your Source Data to Target Object Attributes
To import your Campaign data into Oracle Applications Cloud, you need to populate a CSV file with your source data and map that source data to target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud.
You need to do the following before creating the CSV file for data import:
-
Identify how your source data attributes map to the target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud.
-
Ensure prerequisite setups are done, if applicable.
-
Understand your options for uniquely identifying the records.
-
Ensure parent records exist before importing child records.
-
Identify the target object attributes that are required in the CSV file for a successful import.
Before You Start
You must do some basic checks before starting your import. For example, make sure that:
-
You have completed all the prerequisites for importing each attribute in your source data.
-
You have all parent records in place before importing child records.
Select a Unique Identifier for Your Records
All records must be unique in the application. If you're creating records, then you can provide an easily understandable public unique identifier. These are, usually, denoted with 'Number' and visible in the business object's UI. PUID attributes are usually named <object> Number. If you're updating a record with a Number attribute, then use the Number attribute to identify the record. For more information about public unique identifiers, see the topic "How You Use Alternate Keys to Import Records" in Related Topics section.
Required Attributes and Validations for Campaign Object
To import data successfully into Oracle Applications Cloud, your CSV file must include the required attributes. Ensure that you provide valid values for the attributes. This table lists the required attributes for importing new Campaign records, required attributes for updating Campaign records, prerequisite setup tasks for the attributes, and specific validations, if any, for Campaign import:
