Repository.XFRACAS.ImportXFRACASXMLFile

Member of: SynthesisAPI9.Repository

Uploads the XML file to XFRACAS's import queue. Returns an Integer that represents the import file's record ID.

Remarks: The XML file will be processed at the next scheduled import, or you can choose to process immediately all items in the import queue by using the ProcessXfracasImports method.

For the XML file to be imported successfully, you must have the "Manage Import" admin permission in the XFRACAS entity where you are uploading the file, and the XML file must be in the correct XFRACAS XML format. The XFRACAS 11 Import Business Logic (PDF) document provides a complete description of the XFRACAS format.

Parameters

entityID

Required. Integer. The ID number of the XFRACAS entity to import the data into.

Example

This example assumes that the enterprise repository has connections to existing XFRACAS entities. An XML file called "XMLDATA.xml" is assumed to exist in the C: drive.

VB.NET

 'Add code to connect to the Synthesis enterprise repository. 
  Dim MyRepository As New Repository
  ... 

 'Import the XML file into XFRACAS entity ID# 10. 
  Dim ImportXMLSystemID As Integer
  ImportXMLSystemID = MyRepository.XFRACAS.ImportXfracasXmlFile(10, XFRACASImportType.Incident, "C:\XMLData.xml", "XMLFileDescription")
