Import Global Settings field descriptions

Last Updated : Jan 07, 2021 |

Use this page to bulk import shared addresses, public contacts, and presence access control list (ACLs) from a valid XML file. These imported items are also called global user settings.

Description

Select File

The path and name of the XML file from which you must import the global settings records.

If a file type does not match, System Manager displays an error message.

General

Name

Description

Select Error Configuration

The options are:

  • Abort on first error: Stops importing the global user settings records when User Management encounters the first error in the import file containing the global user settings records.

  • Continue processing other records: Imports the next global user settings record even if User Management encounters an error while importing a global user settings record.

If a matching record already exists

The options are:

  • Skip: Skips a matching global user settings record that already exists in the system database during an import operation. Currently, using this option you can add a new public contact to a public contact set but you cannot update an existing public contact in a public contact set.

  • Merge: Imports the global user settings data at an even greater degree of granularity. For example, add a shared address to a shared address list or update a public contact.

  • Replace: Re-imports or replaces all the global user setting records in the import file. This is essentially the ability to replace a user along with the other data related to the global user settings.

  • Delete: Deletes the global setting records from the database that matches the records in the input XML file.
