Configuration options for bulk import of users

Last Updated : Jun 25, 2013 |

You can bulk import only the selected user attributes data for one or more users existing in the database. The XML file must conform to XML schema definition, for more information, see XML Schema Definition for partial import of users. For a sample XML file for import of user, see Sample XML for partial import of users.

The following configuration options are available for import of users:

  • Abort or continue the import process when the import user operation encounters first error in the user input file.

  • Perform one of the following import types:

    • The partial import type. Helps import of users with specific user attributes.

    • The complete import type. Helps import of users with all user attributes.

  • If a matching record already exists, you can:

    • Replace the users in the database with the new users from the file you imported. For example, you can replace the existing contact list for a user with a new contact list.

    • Merge the user attributes data from the imported file to the existing data. For example, you can add a new contact in the list of contacts for the user and update the name of the user.

    • Delete the user records from the database that match the records in the input XML file.

  • Schedule the bulk import job.
