Import Your Partner Focus Area Data
You can use the import functionality to create Partner Focus Area records.
You can import Partner Focus Area records using these steps:
-
Map your source data to Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes. This way the import process would know where to insert each of the information bits.
-
Create the source CSV file with the Partner Focus Area data you want to import.
-
Kick off an import activity.
-
Check the import results to know if the import went well.
How You Map Your Source Data to Target Object Attributes
You import Partner Focus Area data into Oracle Applications Cloud from a CSV file containing your source data that's mapped to target Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes.
Before you create the source data file, you should:
-
Know how your source data attributes map to the target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud. Match each column from the source file to an attribute in the Partner Focus Area import object.
-
Finish all prerequisite steps, such as understanding what attributes are required for importing your objects.
-
Know how you can uniquely identify the records.
-
Check the target object attributes required in the CSV file for a successful import.
-
Ensure that you don't insert duplicate Partner Focus Area records while importing, to avoid redundant data.
If you want to import only a few records, then you can create a single CSV file for all Partner Focus Area attributes. However if you want to import a large number of records, then you may decide to create multiple CSV files, one for each of the Partner Focus Area child objects. Note that you must have imported the CSV file for Partner Focus Area object successfully before trying to import the CSV files for the child objects. There are separate help topics describing how to import each of these child objects.
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. You can use one of these to identify records:
-
Public unique identifiers: 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. For more information about public unique identifiers, see the topic "How You Use Alternate Keys to Import Records" in Related Topics section.
-
Source system and source system reference: Source system is an identifier for the external system, and source system reference is a unique identifier within the external system. If you're importing a new Partner Focus Area record that has a source system reference data, then provide the source system and source system reference values.
