Retreive Next Source File in MDM Import Manager

[siowfong_chen]

Hi all,

I am curious about the above feature in the MDM Import Manager. It can be found under File menu but I found that it is always greyed out even if I have selected multiple files. When I select multiple files, the system is clever enough to take all the records in the file so it doesn't seem to be used to move from one file to another. I couldn't find any information on the Import Manager guide so am trying this forum. Note that I have also searched on the forum before posting.

Appreciate if anyone can share their insight into this feature.

Cheers!

HI SF,

Please have a look at page no: 46 in Import Manager Guide -> GETTING THE NEXT SOURCE DATA FILE.

I think thats what you are looking for.

Thanks all for the info!

That option is used in exception handling, as well as when you use source Type=Port, to get the next source file wainit at the current port using the same Import Manager session.

Please refer to the Import Manager guide for more information.

Hi SF,

Yes I too did not come accross any document about this.

However,I guess this is something which helps you in exception handling.

When you handle exception of a port and there are multiple files,then you need "connect to source" again and again.

It takes you to next exception file.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Ravi
