To define an import job, open the S.80.11 OII – Import Jobs screen.

The runtime options are the most important options for the job definition.The options have the following meanings:

  • Transfer: This check box toggles the simulation mode for ident data. Note that the simulation is of no particular use if the import file contains ident data as well as assembly data that depends on the import of the former section; or if assembly data with more than one hierarchy level is present in the import file. The reason is that the data necessary for assembly record validation will not be present if the job runs in simulation mode.

  • All Descriptions: If checked, IDENT_NLS data for idents imported by any (that is, any other) import job may be created. If unchecked, the job will only create such data for those idents that are in their own import file.

  • All Attributes: If checked, IDENT_ATTR data for idents imported by any (that is, any other) import job may be created. If unchecked, the job will only create such data for those idents that are in their own import file.

  • All Assemblies: If checked, IDENT_STRUC data for either ident or ident structures imported by any import job may be created. If unchecked, the job will only create such data if all the idents and all the existing ident structure to which it requires to add records have been imported by this import job.

  • Allow Replace: This check box is meaningful only in conjunction with the 'All Description' and/or the 'All Attributes' runtime options. If one of these options, or both, are checked, then additionally checking this check box means that existing IDENT_NLS or IDENT_ATTRS may also be updated by the contents of the import file.

Please note that in a normal Smart Materials configuration, even the most restrictive setting requires that you check the 'Allow Replace' options and uncheck the 'All descriptions' option, because after ident creation, a set of default system-generated ident descriptions will already be present. If you want this default data to be replaced by imported descriptions, you must have the options set at least as described.
