Import interface framework

This high-level import process applies to all system standard import interfaces:



The importing of data is a two-step process:

  1. The import task imports the data from an external text file into a staging table (WBINT_IMPORT).
  2. The interface task moves the data from the staging table into application tables.

The import and interface tasks, both configured through the Job Scheduler, can be set to run at predefined times. Although the two tasks do not need to be set up in any particular order, ideally, the import task should be scheduled to run before the interface task.
