Notes

  • The Import process CANNOT DELETE records.
  • In a Delimited file, the import treats the number of columns as one MORE than the number of commas separating values.
    • For example, if there is a CSV line with three commas, there will be 4 values.  The numbering of the fields is Zero-Based, so the indexes will be: 0,1,2,3 in the field mapping or Conditional Logic.
  • In a Fixed Width file, you will define the fields by Position and Length.  The field positions are Zero-Based.  So in a file where a field starts on the 1st character of a line, the Position is entered as 0.  If the field starts on the 10th character, the Position is 9.
  • To create a GLA Path, the value stored in the configuration option GLA_CONCATENATOR should be used as a concatenator.
