Settings That Affect Item Data Conversion

To support data conversion and initial load to Product Hub, the profile option: Item Data Conversion Mode Enabled must be set to enabled.

When you perform data conversion from your legacy applications into Product Hub, you must set the profile option value to Yes. The default value is No. Setting the profile value to Yes will have the following effects:

• The Import process ignores all security checks. Data Privilege and Functional privileges are not considered.

• All items will be created as approved items irrespective of whether the item class is enabled for new item request or you select to Add All Items to a new item request in batch.

• All updates will be directly posted to production by not creating change orders, even if you select the Add All Items to change order option in the batch.

• All validation rules of type Needs Approval will be ignored. This means that items are updated in the production tables.

If the profile option values are incorrect, it can adversely affect performance. You should evaluate carefully before setting these options.
