Import Your Subscription Contact Data
You can use import management to create or update Subscription Contact records.
To import Subscription Contact 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 Subscription Contact 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
To import data into Oracle Applications Cloud, your CSV file must include some specific attributes that enable the import process to uniquely identify the records. The file import process uses the attribute values to automatically map your source data to the target object attributes in Oracle Applications Cloud.
The preferred option for uniquely identifying an object record is through the Public unique identifier. If you're creating new records, then you can provide a user-friendly public unique identifier (attributes denoted with 'Number' and usually visible in the business object's UI). If you update a record for which you have previously provided a Number attribute, or for which a Number attribute is visible in the object's UI, you can use the Number attribute to identify the record. For the Subscription Contact object, the attributes are ContactPuid and PartyPuid.
Required Attributes and Validations for Subscription Contact 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 Subscription Contact records, required attributes for updating Subscription Contact records, prerequisite setup tasks for the attributes, and specific validations, if any, for Subscription Contact import:
