Import Your Subscription Balance Register Grouping Rule Data

You can use the Import Management to create, update, or delete Subscription Balance Register Grouping Rule records.

You can import Subscription Balance Register Grouping Rule records using these steps:

  1. Map your source Subscription Balance Register Grouping Rule data to Oracle Applications Cloud object attributes. This way the import process would know where to insert each of the information bits.
  2. Create the source CSV file with the Subscription Balance Register Grouping data you want to import.
  3. Create an import activity.
  4. Check the import results to know if the import went well.

How You Map Your Source Data to Target Object Attributes

To import your Subscription Balance Register Grouping Rule data into Oracle Applications Cloud, you must populate a .csv file with your source data and map that source data to target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud.

You must 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 steps are complete, such as understanding what attributes are required for importing your objects.
  • 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. 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. 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.

You can view the Subscription Balance Register Grouping Rule object and attributes in the Manage Import Objects page of the Import Management flow. You can find attribute information like type, length, and description on this page.

Create the Source CSV File

You include the data that you want to import into Sales and Fusion Service in a source CSV file.

You can use the templates available in the Import Objects UI page to create the source CSV file. To download a template:

  1. Navigate toTools > Import Management > Import Objects.

  2. Select the Subscription Balance Register Grouping Rule object in the table and click Download.

You can now edit the downloaded file and provide valid values for the required attributes.

Note:

For help in populating the CSV file and to avoid any issues in entering values, see the topic Potential Issues When Opening CSV Files With Excel in Related Topics section.

Create the Import Activity

After you have the CSV file ready, create an import activity to import the information. To create an import activity:

  1. Navigate to Tools > Import Management > Import Queue.

  2. Click Create Import Activity in the Manage Imports page.

  3. In the Enter Import Options page, provide a name for the import activity, and select Subscription Balance Register Grouping Rule from the Object drop-down list.

  4. Select the CSV file in the File Name field, and click Next.

  5. You would see that the source and target attributes are automatically mapped in the Map Fields page. Review and edit the mappings if required.

  6. Check the file for unmapped columns or data format issues by clicking Validate Data. Click Next.

  7. Review the import details on the Review and Submit page, and click Submit when you're ready.

Review the Import Results

Check if your import succeeded on the Manage Imports page. This page shows the status of all active, completed, and unsuccessful imports. To check the status of the import activity:

  1. Go to Navigator > Tools > Import Management > Import Queue.

  2. Click All Imports and search for the import activity that you created earlier.

  3. Check the Status column for the import activity. The import is successful if the status displays as Completed. You can drill down on the import activity to go to the Import Status page which provides the status details of the import activity.
