Repository.XFRACAS.ImportXFRACASXMLFile

Member of: SynthesisAPI10.Repository

Uploads an XFRACAS XML import file for processing. Returns an Integer that represents the import file's system ID.

All XML files must first be in the XFRACAS XML format before they can be successfully imported. To view the XFRACAS formats, see the XFRACAS9/10 Import Business Logic (PDF) document.

Syntax

.XFRACAS.ImportXFRACASXMLFile(entityID, importType, fileName, fileDescription)

Parameters

entityID

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

This example assumes that an XFRACAS XML file called "XMLDATA.xml" exists in the C: drive. The file is assumed to contain XFRACAS incidents. Also, the repository is assumed to be connected to an XFRACAS with existing entities.

VB.NET

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

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