Import and Export Data – Configuration

The Simphony Import/Export Service allows you to:

• Import and export Simphony Essentials application data in a comma-separated values (CSV) format, to or from spreadsheet applications

• Import configuration data into the Simphony Essentials application database that can be called by external systems, such as a web service application programming interface (API)

• Export configuration data from Simphony Essentials that can be called by external systems, such as an on premise inventory management application

The main benefits of this service are:

• Allows you to load configuration data in bulk (for example, making a large number of price changes for menu items, which reduces the amount of time it takes to configure systems)

• Allows third parties to integrate with customer databases (either self-hosted or hosted within an Oracle facility), without providing direct access to the application file server or database

• Allows third parties to build custom interfaces

• Import/Export Service Components
  
• Configure Import/Export Service Privileges
  
• Configure Import/Export Service Date and Time Format
  
• Configure Task Schedules for Export Reliability
  
• Increase Import File Size
