Bulk import is the process of loading customer data in bulk from legacy, third party,
or other external sources into the TCA Registry. In Oracle Customers Online, you can
load source files of organization, person, or contact data into the TCA import
interface tables.
For the transfer of data from the interface tables into the TCA Registry, you have
these options.
• If the appropriate import profile options are set, the file load data can
automatically transfer from the interface tables into the Registry, as soon as the file
load completes successfully.
• Use the Oracle Customer Data Librarian (CDL) batch import feature, if you have
CDL.
• Run the Import Batch to TCA Registry program using the Trading Community
Manager responsibility.
The bulk import is only for information on the party level. To import both party and
account information, need to use Customer Interface Process.
An import batch contains information about transferring a set of records from the
interface tables into the TCA Registry, including settings for optional data quality pre-
import processes that you can perform on the batch.
Batch de-duplication: Identify and resolve duplicates within the batch that you are
importing from the interface tables.
Address validation: Validate addresses within the batch against authorized
sources.
Registry de-duplication: Identify and resolve duplicates between the interface
tables and the Registry.
Prepare a CSV file with details of the persons you want to import. Here I am going to
show you import for two records, with their contact and organization details.
Search or appropriate column name and provide mapping as shown below. You can
change column name in CSV file to make this process hassle free
Once the Mapping is done, have a look at Preview and then click on Finish.
Oracle fires one Concurrent request to import data in Interface table. If any error
occurs then you can correct it.
Oops!!! We encountered error/s
Let’s go and correct it.
Here it looks there is some problem in record for First Name=DEVendra
Here looks some problem with value we provide for column Country.
Import program need Country code, but we provided Country name. So let’s correct
it to country code (IN) and apply changes.
One more column I am aware of is Gender it does not take M / F, we need to give
MALE / FEMALE that too in all caps . Also for Marital Status attribute, Married /
Single will not work, Oracle need values to be M / S.
Now the obvious questions come to mind that
How we can to know which value is valid for which column?
Is there any document which tells us mandatory columns for import?
I have only one answer for it, this will come to know by experience only. I did not
find any document for such kind of question.
If you are going to put data in interface tables directly using SQL, hen it will need an
Active Batch. So before using SQL you will need to “Generate Batch” and then
“Activate Batch”.
In our case batch is already created and it is in active status. Also errors are
corrected, so now the batch is ready to be imported to base tables.
Select Batch and Define Import for the batch.
Here you can specify whether you want to check duplicates in batch or not.
Here you can specify whether you want to validate Addresses in batch or not.
Here are some more options to make import more efficient and accurate.
If you select to check of duplicate then you also need to specify the match rule which
needs to be used.
As we have not selected for checking duplicates, Oracle create entities even if same
entity already exist.
Oralce fires concurrent program which will put records from interface table to base
tables.
Keep Refreshing page till the time it completes.
Hurry!!! Our program got completed without error.
We added only two records in CSV file but Oracle is showing Total 10 records got
imported… how come these many records got imported?
Even if only two records were in CSV file, Oracle entered 5 records for each person,
i.e. Person Name, Address, Contact (Email), Organization, Relationship between
Organization-Person.
