Creating CSV files

Multiple import interfaces use the Generic Table Import Interface. Each interface requires a specific CSV file. You must create each CSV file according to the CSV file’s field specifications.

Skill Import

The CSV file for the Skill Import Interface includes these field-column specifications:

Note: Fields with the asterisk symbol (*) are required.
Col. Field Name Type Size/Format Description
1 STSKL_NAME* VARCHAR 40 Skill name
2 STSKL_DESC VARCHAR 100 Skill description
3 STSKLTYP_NAME* VARCHAR 40 Skill type
4 STSKL_FLAG1-5 VARCHAR 1 Skill flag fields, 1 through 5
5 STSKL_UDF1-5 VARCHAR 40 Skill UDF fields, 1 through 5
Note: The STSKLTYP_NAME (foreign key to the ST_SKILL table) gets translated into an appropriate STSKLTYP_ID that the ST_SKILL table is expecting as part of the import.
