  3. From the list, select an import log file, and click Export.
    The file is exported to PDF format. You can choose to save the file or open it.

Results

The import log contains information such as the import date, file name, user name, rows read, rows discarded, import specification used in the import, the details of the import specification, and the number of Cognos Controller entries created.

If the import was performed with the option to perform reconciliation between total assets and total liabilities, the results of reconciliation are displayed for companies imported. The log file shows the amounts to reconcile and the accounts used to store the difference. The reconciliation is performed in local currency, by total dimensions.
