Starting an Import: Time
Note that all the options for starting an import in the TMS are listed here. The options you have depend on which import type you have chosen (project or individual import, import all requests, transport workflow).
- Immediate
If you want the import to start immediately in a dialog, choose Immediate.
- At Start Time
If you want the import to start at a later time, choose At Start Time. The import is scheduled as a background job in the target system. If you enter a date and time in the field No Start After, the import is started in the time frame between Planned Start and No Start After. If there is no background process available in this window, the import will not happen. If you want the import to be performed regularly, you must choose a period in the field Period using the value help.
The Period option does not exist for single transports and the transport workflow.
- After Event
If you want the import to start only after the event is triggered (see Events in Background Processing Explained), choose this After Event. If you choose the option Execute Import Periodically, the import is started each time the specified event is triggered. Otherwise, the import is started only when the event is triggered the first time.
The Execute Import Periodically option does not exist for single transports and the transport workflow.
