Importing User Information into the NDS Database
See also Multiple-value property. Enter in the data file any other related objects.
Enter the complete NDS name of the object if it is not in the same context
as the User object.
Skip This is a unique processing option for UIMPORT. The values in the data
file that correspond to Skip fields are ignored by UIMPORT.
For example, if you exported into the data file users’ birthdays and you do
not want this information imported into NDS, enter “Skip” as the field
definition. So if you export data that you don’t want to import, rather than
re-exporting the entire data file, you can simply specify “Skip” for the
column that contains the information.
Suppose you export to the data file a work and a home phone number, but
you don’t want to import the home phone number. Your data file may have
a string like this:
…,”801-555-4141”,”801-555-8677”,…
Your import control file would correspond like this:
Fields
…
Telephone
Skip
…
The 801-555-8677 field in the data file is ignored.
State or province Single-value property. In the data file, enter the State or province of the
user.
Telephone Multiple-value property. For example, if a user has three telephone
numbers that you want to import, enter in the data file each of the three
numbers. In the control file, you would need three “Telephone” field
entries.
Title Multiple-value property. In the data file, enter the user’s title.
