Enabling data import and export in an application

After you define the content of the object structure, you must enable an application for data import and export. Data import and data export are separate features. You can set up security access to limit access to each of these features.

Procedure

  1. In the Object Structures application, select the object structure that you want to enable for data import and export.
    The object structure must specify Integration in the Consumed By field.
  2. Select the Add/Modify Application Export Support action.
  3. In the Add/Modify Application Export Support window, insert a row.
    In the Details section, the value in the Application field defaults to the application that has the same main object as the main object of the object structure.
  4. Specify either XML File or Flat File as the format for data export files.
  5. In the Maximum Count field, specify the maximum number of rows that can be exported during a single execution. Leave the field empty or specify 0 to allow export of an unlimited number of rows.
  6. If you enable multiple object structures for the application export and you want this object structure to be the default, select the Is Default checkbox.
  7. Save the export configuration.
  8. Select the Add/Modify Application Import Support action and repeat the same procedures to configure data import for the application. Save your changes.

Results

After you enable data export and import, actions are added to the Actions menu of the application.

What to do next

Enable security group access to one or both of these actions.
