Data Import

Use Data Import to import data to a fully configured OPERA Cloud property. Data transformation is not available using this method and requires that the data in the import data files matches the current OPERA Cloud property configuration.

Note:

Profile match and merge are not supported.

Watch Video

The following data types (entities) can be imported based on the Cloud Service(s) and OPERA Controls that are active in your property.

Table 24-2 Data Types

Data Type	Notes	Template Filename
Guest /Contact Profiles	Contacts available when the Contacts OPERA Control is active. Profile match and merge is not supported.	Guest_Contact_Profiles.csv
Sales Accounts (Travel Agent, Company, Source) Profiles	Profile match and merge is not supported.	Accounts.csv
Relationships	Available when the Relationships OPERA Control is active. Account/Contact relationship only.	Relationships.csv
Membership Transaction	Available with OPERA Cloud Service, Loyalty For existing Profile Membership details.	Membership_Transactions.csv
Reservations	Current and future reservations can be imported. Room type availability (including sell limits) are checked; reservations exceeding the room type availability will not be imported. Block pickup is not possible; rooms are deducted from House. Use Rooming List import instead	Reservations.csv
Blocks and Room/Rate Grid	Available when the Business Block OPERA Control is active. Past, current and future blocks can be imported. Only the primary Block, Account, and Contact will be imported. Three block notes can be imported. Sell Limits cannot be imported. Master/Sub Blocks, Packages, and Attachments will not be imported. Production Data and Change Log Data will not be imported. Non-primary Blocks/Account/Contacts will not be imported.	Blocks.csv Room_And_Rate_Grid.csv
Catering Events	Available when the Simple Events OPERA Control (Foundation Cloud Service) or Catering Events OPERA Control (Sales and Event Management add on Cloud Service) is active. Past, current and future events can be imported. Event Forecast information will be imported for each Event. Only four Forecast Revenue Types and their corresponding Forecast Revenue will be imported. If any notes are populated in the CSV file, the Note Type defaults to "Event" and the Note Title is derived from the Note Type. Only three event notes will be imported. The Rental Code corresponding to the Rental Amount will always be "Custom.". Take this into account during the import process. No resources are imported. Packaged events are not imported. Non Forecast Revenue is not imported. Production Data, Change Log data is not imported	Events.csv
Sales Activities	Available when the Activities OPERA Control is active. Only the primary Account and Contact will be imported.	Activities.csv

Note:

Each data file can have a maximum file size of 10MB. You can upload and import multiple files per data type.

Only one import cycle per property is permitted at any given time.

This image shows the template used for importing data.

The data import utility is intended for all entities to be uploaded, validated, and imported in one cycle to ensure data consistency.

You have 14 days from the first successful file upload to complete the data import cycle. If the data import cycle has not been completed in 14 days, you will need to restart the data import process again.

Data import user activity is tracked in the +changes log under the Miscellaneous group and Import Data action type.

Data File Requirements and Considerations

The upload data files must meet the following requirements:

All the mandatory columns must be present in the template along with values.
Column data must meet (not exceed) the OPERA Cloud field length requirements.
Column data only contains western characters.
String values are imported 'as-is' in term of letter case.
Unique Id's (primary key) in each data type must not be used in another file for same data type in the same import cycle. For example, if you are uploading two files Account01.csv and Accounts02.csv for Accounts data type, a ACC_Unique_ID_Account value specified in file Account01.csv cannot be used in Account02csv or any other files for the same data type within the same import cycle.
The order/sequence of the columns can be different.
All column names must match with respective template provided.
The columns names are case-insensitive.
Date column values must be in YYYYMMDD format.
There must not be any new line characters in the CSV files.
The uploaded file for a data type must not contain any additional header columns which are not part of template.
Non-mandatory columns can be excluded from upload file.
