Define a Multi-Import Job

You can define a multi-import job in the CA RCM portal. Run this job to import data from several sources automatically.

Note the following:

• When using multiple configuration files as data sources, all the files must have the same schema as the target universe, for example, all files must use the same field for PersonID, the same field for email, and so on.
• Multi-import does not correlate imported user information from several data sources. To identify likely matches, overlap, and duplicates between multiple data sources, see the UUID documentation in the Data Management User Guide.

To define a multi-import job

1. Log in to the CA RCM portal as an administrator.
2. Go to Administration, Settings, and click Multi Import.

   The Multi Import main screen appears.

3. Click Add New.

   The Multi Import editing screen appears.

4. Enter values for the Name and Description fields of the multi-import job.
5. Specify the Universe to update from the Universe drop-down list.
6. Add an import task to the multi-import job, as follows:
   1. Select the type of import job you want from the Select Connector Import Implementation drop-down list.
   2. Click Configure & Add To Merge.

      A configuration screen appears. Fields for the type of import job you selected are listed.

   3. Provide values for all connector properties that appear.
   4. Click Done.

      The new import task appears in the table.

7. Repeat Step 6 to define as many import tasks as you need.
8. (Optional) Click Delete in the row of an import task you want to remove.
9. Set the completion level for the job as follows:
   1. Click the Manage Groups link at the top right of the screen.

      The Manage Group window appears.

   2. Click Edit to edit the default group.

      The Group window appears.

   3. Edit the Completion Level field.

      Note: This field defines the percentage of import tasks that must complete successfully for the multi-import job to be successful. For example, if a multi-import job contains 20 tasks, and its Completion Level is set to 75, then the job is successful if 15 of those tasks complete successfully (15/20=75 percent). Default: 100

   4. Click Save twice.

      The completion level is set for the job.

10. In the Multi Import editing screen, click Save.

    The Multi Imports main screen appears. The new multi-import job is listed in the table.
