AMI reading import (ARI)

Use the ARI task type to set the parameters for importing reads into IEE. This task type is used only for ARI processing. Configure one task template for each specified external system.

Once a template is configured, configure the Import Data Manager Service to prepare the environment for data import. For more information about the Import Data Manager Service, see Configuring the import data manager service.

Use the following procedure to configure a task template:

  1. Go to System Operations > Task Management > Task Templates.

  2. Use the dropdown menu to select the Task Type and Task Template. (Click Add to create a new task template. For more information, see Adding task templates.)

  3. Configure the Task specific parameters. These parameters are defined after Step 5 of this procedure.

  4. Configure the Common task template parameters. For more information, see Task template parameters.

  5. Click Save.

Task specific parameters:

ClosedImport Directory

Defines the folder that IEE monitors for incoming files. IEE automatically schedules files that arrive in this directory for import. You define the paths to default import directories in the IEE System Administration workbench. When configuring the import directory parameter in an import task template, enter the file path to the directory that IEE monitors for import files specific to this task. This parameter supports standard IEE macros. Reference as ($ImportDirectory) when configuring a task.

ClosedFile Mask

Defines a file extension or a partial file name that IEE uses to monitor import directories and create export files. Enter a file mask such as .xml when configuring an import or export task template. When a file arrives in the import directory, IEE automatically schedules the file for import if it matches the mask. IEE ignores files that do not match the file mask. When creating an export file, IEE appends this mask to the file name.

ClosedWorkbin 0 Path

Defines the import directory for IEE Standard XML Reading Import - Enhanced (SRI-E). Use UNC path names, not drive letters. Click Search to navigate to the directory, and then update the path to UNC format. The directory must already exist in Windows before you can locate it in the search. A task template must be configured using the Reading XML Import Enhanced task which uses this path as its Import Directory.

ClosedExternal System

Defines any external system to which IEE configuration data can be associated. In many places this parameter provides you with the dropdown menu to select from the external systems configured in the External System table.
