The integration administrator can initiate export and import data from within the External Systems application to support, for example, integrating data using files. The import process includes the ability to preview a data load from a file to validate the data prior to saving it to the database. The import process also includes an option to manage errors that result from file loading in the same file format as the imported file
You can use file-based error management as an alternative to managing errors through the Message Reprocessing application. Importing data from files, in flat file or XML format, can be done on a scheduled basis using a predefined cron task. Additionally, administrators can enable an application for export and import, and users can then export and import data directly from within the enabled application.
