Import Done message

The Import Done message reports to the source site that the data has been successfully imported at the target site. The files at the export site are deleted only after all of the target sites that need those files have copied and imported the files.

If you send the Import Done message, Exchange checks whether any rejected Import Done messages exist, and if so, sends these messages, as well. The sequence in which the Import Done messages are delivered to the source site is not relevant.

If the files were successfully imported but the Import Done message could not be delivered to the source site, Exchange writes the Import Done message to the rejected Import Done messages and logs an error message.

To create and send an Import Done message, Exchange must have the following information:

  • Source environment, company, exchange scheme, and batch
  • The run number and try number of the export
  • Target environment, company, exchange scheme, and batch

When Exchange receives the Import Done message at the source site, Exchange removes the stored current Export Done message to which the Import Done message refers.

When you are ready to clean up the ASCII files, the Remove ASCII Files (daxch2202m000) session checks whether all targets that have subscribed to the source have already processed the files. A file is only deleted if the run and try that created the file do not occur in the current Export Done messages.
