Importing Partners

Importing Partners

Use the Import action on the Partners page to import a partner file into a new environment.
  1. Browse to the environment where you want to import the partners. Click OK.
  2. In the Navigator, click Partners > Partners.
  3. Click Actions > Import Partners.
    The Import Partner page appears.
  4. Browse to the promotion export file and click Open > Upload. The Import partners page appears.
  5. The conflict Resolution column of the Overview tab lists all the conflicts. To resolve a conflict, choose one of the following actions:
    • Import and replace. Replace existing entities with imported entities.
    • Don't import. Do not import existing entities.
    • Abort. Cancel the import process.
    • Merge read patterns - Merge the selected patterns with the entity when you import the endpoint. This applies only for endpoints.
  6. The Related Entities section of the Partners page displays a list of related entities that were exported with the partners and, by default, will be imported. To prevent the import of a related entity, click a related entity tab and uncheck the Import checkbox.
  7. Click Import.
    The Import Partner Results page displays, showing what entities that the import process created.
Consider the following rules and guidelines when you import partners:
  • You might encounter difficulties when importing a partner file that was created by the command line import/export utility previous versions of B2B Data Exchange. If so, export the partners again using the current and re-import the file.
  • The import process is limited to handling files with a maximum of 500 accounts. If your file exceeds this limit, the Operation Console displays an error message directing you to reduce the number of accounts in the file. To import a file with more than 500 accounts, ask your System Administrator to import it for you using the import/export command line utility.
  • MFT endpoints are imported in disabled status. MFT endpoint information is stored in the B2B Data Exchange repository and in the B2B Managed File Transfer repository. If you import objects that include MFT endpoints, perform an export operation in both the B2B Data Exchange operation console and B2B Managed File Transfer administrative console. Make sure to import the objects first to MFT and then to Data Exchange. For more information about importing and exporting MFT endpoints, see the
    B2B Managed File Transfer User Guide.
  • Non-MFT endpoints are imported as-is, depending on the endpoints' enable/disable status during import.
  • PowerCenter entities, such as mappings, workflows, and Data Transformation services, are not included in the exported partners file. You have to be export and import them separately.
  • If you import partners from B2B Data Exchange 9.5.0 or earlier, account categories are not imported and the accounts inherit categories from the partner after the import process.
