XML import options

Overview

When importing from an XML file you'll see a configuration screen that presents the following options:

Options

Definition

File name

Name of the file to import.

Import mode

  • Update or insert: If a record with the same primary key already exists in the target table, it is updated. Otherwise, a new record is inserted.

  • Replace all content: All existing data in the table will be deleted before importing the data.

Use header

You can add an EBX Data Exchange Add-on header that contains metadata such as Name, Type, Application Version and export time. The add-on reuses this 'header' XML tag at import time.

Force import

Specifies that all triggers and constraints are disabled when this option is activated. Otherwise, all triggers and constraints are enabled.

Ignore the empty or null values

By default, the existing record is not updated with null and empty cell values from the imported data.

Check empty or null primary keys

The add-on verifies that all primary keys are mapped and validates the data before importing. If you disable this option, the add-on does not perform this verification.
