Importing data using the ImportDB Job (IMDBB)

IMDBB is a batch form that provides the same functionality as the importdb utility. This enables you to perform an import to the database through Lawson Portal rather than from the command line. For information on importdb and IMDBB, see the System Utilities Reference Guide.

1. In Lawson Portal, access IMDBB by using the search box. IMDBB is in the IF system code within the application product line.
2. Define a new job.
3. Specify options for the job. For information on program options, see the System Utilities Reference Guide.
4. Specify the product line.
5. Specify the DB file name, that is, the name of the file in the database where you want to import data.
6. Specify the full path and name of the CSV file whose data you want to import. This must be a path on the Infor Lawson System Foundation server. When specifying the path, you can include environment variables such as $GENDIR and $LAWDIR.
7. Add and submit the job.
