Importing Partner Tables

The Table Import function allows you to import partner cross-reference and lookup tables from a sequential file. This allows you to import tables created for another partner profile and build tables outside of Sterling Gentran:Server® by formatting your data in the export file layout.

To import a partner table, complete the following steps:

  1. Select Tools > Partner Editor.

    The system displays the Partner Editor Dialog Box.

  2. Select the partner profile or the system partner (Internal System User) for which you want to import a Cross-reference or Lookup table and click Tables.

    The system displays the Partner Tables Dialog Box.

  3. Click Import.

    The system displays the Table Import File Select Dialog Box.

  4. Navigate to the location of the table file and select or enter the name of the file.
    Notes:
    • You can only import Sterling Gentran:Server partner tables.
    • The default file extension for cross-reference tables is .xrf. The default file extension for lookup tables is .lkp.
  5. Click Open to begin the import process.

    When the export process is complete the system displays an informational dialog box.

  6. Click OK.

    The system returns to the Partner Tables dialog box.

  7. Click Exit.

    The system returns to the Partner Editor dialog box.
