Setting Up Automated User
Imports
Notice: As a precaution before setting up
this feature, ensure you have an up-to-date
backup copy of the database.
For details, refer to "Backing up or Restoring
the Database".
1) Select [Management] in the 'tree'.
2) Select Database Maintenance,
and open User Import.
3) Then, refer to the item-descriptions
for this screen while making your
selections.
- Enable Periodic Processing of User Import
Table: Select this to 'turn on' the automated
card import feature.
- Period (in minutes): This is how long Director
will wait before processing the 'ErmUserImport'
table again (e.g., 15 minutes = 4 times per
hour);
Note: As discussed under "Conceptual Aspects", and
"Software Interface ("Middleware") Tasks" -- both
previous/above, it is the responsibility of your custom
software to update the table with the desired
commands and data--which will then be processed by
the Director software at the time intervals selected
here.
- [Process User Import Table Now]: This
causes Director to process the table right away,
rather than waiting until the next scheduled time.
