Prepare to use Calyx InSight Data Exchange for Importing Data
Calyx InSight Data Exchange uses a programming interface, not a graphical user interface (GUI). To import records, an application uses the Calyx InSight Data Exchange Web service.
If your application is going to use the Data Exchange client that Calyx InSight Data Exchange provides for posting messages, see the examples in the DataExchanger-examples.jar file included with Calyx RIM. If your application is going to use Message Orientated Middleware (MOM) software for posting messages, your application must construct the messages.
To modify data so that it conforms to the proper constraints for import, specific
Calyx RIM privileges must be established for the user and certain rules must be applied:
- To enable the creation of entities, you must have Administrator privileges for the entities that will be imported.
- Calyx InSight Data Exchange fields must be configured and active in Calyx RIM before importing data with Calyx InSight Data Exchange.
- All data entry rules and constraints concerning uniqueness, field lengths, and predefined values apply.
- All required fields must be populated.
- Before importing the data, values must exist for all drop-down fields defined in Data Administration.
- Date field limitations apply to newly created entities. The following format is required:
yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX
For instructions on setting Calyx RIM user privileges in Data Administration, refer to the Data Administration topics in the online help.
