Rules for file states

These rules are provided to help you understand the state transitions in a file for various operations.

The following list is a summary of state management rules for a file:
  • You can add one or more files to a session that is in Draft state. When you add a file, the status of the session changes to In Progress. You can also add more files to a session, which is in the In Progress state.
  • You can delete a file when it is in the Imported state or any error state.
  • If the importing of one or more files fails during a session, then the status of the file and the session changes to File Import Error.
  • When one or more files are in Deleting state during a session, then the status of the session changes to Updating.
  • When the operation of importing all the files in a session is complete, then the status of all the files changes to Imported. At the same time, the status of the session changes to Draft.
  • There can be errors when you import or delete a file in a session. If there are errors, then the statuses of the file and the session change to their corresponding error states. For example, if a file delete operation fails, then the statuses of the file and the session change to File Deletion Error. This rule shows the cumulative effect of the file operation failure on a session state.
