Import Service is used to import file data into Signifikant databases. Files are transformed into internal format and uploaded to a remote server or stored locally. Transformations are configurable through scripts, in case no further programming is needed.
This service is available in version 5.0 and later
Overview
The import process require a configuration of folders, filenames, handlers, logging etc,. Once this is setup the service is working automatically to handle newdata.
Data flow and process:
A new file is generated on a predefined disk area
The service supervises the disk area and detects the new file, the file name is compared to a name pattern to determine, if the file is handled and how it is handled
The import handler is called to transform the file
Imported data
Currently we handle part prices, part availability, organisations and customers - all is imported to the Server database on a remote server.
Customization
Handlers for import or upload to remote server may be added in a customize module. By referring the handler in service configuration, any customer use case regarding automated file import, can be implemented.
