In the list of import jobs that appears, click Status Message for your import. The status includes the number of records that were processed, how many records were successful, and the number of errors or warnings.

  You can also view the log file for more information about the import activity. In the list of import jobs, click View Log for the selected import.

• View the Data in CA APM. To view the data in CA APM, navigate to the tab and subtab, if necessary, for the object that you deleted (for example, asset, company, or contact). Search for the objects that you deleted and verify that the objects are not available.
