Import Basic Catalogs

The function for importing basic catalogs enables the configurable and trackable import of a catalog. This function enables providers of catalog contents, third party providers and development partners to import their catalogs into i.s.h.med, if these catalogs exist in a defined import structure. Furthermore i.s.h.med customers can exhcnage their own catalogs among each other.

Prerequisites

The catalog category, which contains the classes to be used for the import configuration, determines whether and how a catalog can be imported.

Features

The catalog is imported from an XML structure. The report RN1_BC_IMPORT_CATALOG reads the data from an XML file.

Create an import configuration in the transaction N1BCIMP. An import configuration always refers to exactly one catalog and controls which data of the catalog should be imported and how, and which messages flow into the log.
Trigger the import with the report RN1_BC_IMPORT_CATALOG. You can schedule this job as a batch job and execute it in the background.
