Data Import Template

The data import template describes how the data in a source file maps to the columns in the base object tables in the Operational Reference Store. To create a data import template, you require familiarity with the structures of both the source file and the Operational Reference Store schema.

The data import template is an XML configuration file that contains the import profiles that

Data Director

uses to import data. An import profile defines the mapping between the structure of the data in the source file and the user-defined columns in a base object table. You define a separate import profile for each subject area.

In an import profile, you can specify the format for date and numeric fields. To specify the format, follow the Java

SimpleDateFormat

pattern for date fields and the Java

DecimalFormat

pattern for numeric fields.

The Resource Kit includes a sample template file and a sample source file. You can find the files in the following location:
