• Control and field parameters are not case-sensitive. The headings “Import
Control” and “Fields” must be left aligned (you do not have to specify import
control parameters if you use the defaults).
• Entries under the headings must be preceded by at least one space or a tab.
• To create a new user, two field definitions are required: “Name” (the user’s login
name) and “Last name.”
• To update records for users who have already been created, only the “name” field
is required. These fields are explained in Table 4-2.
• All fields in the data file must have a corresponding field definition in the import
control file. To see a sample data file and its corresponding import control file,
see “Data File Created from Exported Database Fields” in this chapter.
Although you do not have to save the import control file in the same
directory in which you saved the data file, doing so makes locating the files
and running UIMPORT easier. If you do not, you will have to specify the
path to each of the files when you run UIMPORT.
After generating the data file and creating the import control file, see
“Creating User Objects with the UIMPORT Utility” in this chapter to start
the import process.
