Technical documentation - Import sources
It is possible to define several source systems for imports in import storage and task manager. Each source system can use the same transform as other source systems. The purpose is to be able to control imports, e.g. to have different import intervals depending on source system or turn off certain source systems.
The possibility to have different sources exist in version 5.0 and later.
Configuration
Configuration file: import.config
Location: C:\ProgramData\Signifikant\Assert\ or C:\ProgramData\Signifikant\Assert\Customize (prioritized)
Sources has to be defined in two locations in import.config;
Define the location on disk for each source
Define sources for each transform
<XmlConfig>
<ExportBasePath>C:\Signifikant\Export</ExportBasePath>
<ImportBasePath>C:\Signifikant\Import</ImportBasePath>
<StyleSheetsBasePath>C:\ProgramData\Signifikant\Assert</StyleSheetsBasePath>
<!-- Define the locations on disk for the different soures here. All sources can have the same location but in such case
each location has to have a unique folder name defined in the transform section further down. -->
