Background documentationData Import

 

The BDoc Generator's import functionality extracts data from temporary table for a BDoc, maintaining the parent–child relation and then passes this table to the Structure Mapper.

Note Note

Only import of data into the CRM system will be supported for the first version of BDoc Generator for External Data.

End of the note.

Once mapped to a BDoc type the SFA keys have to be filled using the Keygen Service. After Keygen, the BDoc type is converted into a BDoc Layer message structure and placed in the inbound queue of the CRM Server for the flow service to process the message. The Flow control imports this message into the CDB and also takes care of replicating this data to clients.

Note Note

BDoc Generator holds the source structures and destination structures are defined in Structure Mapper.

End of the note.

Data import runs in the background.

Any errors that occur during the data import are logged into the table SMWT_TRC under the component ASCII. After a data import is completed, the temporary table needs to be checked for the unextracted records. In case of any errors in data processing due to inconsistent data, the temporary table will have to be re-loaded with the right data and import needs to be triggered again.
