# Import

Not all TIBCO FTL field types are supported by EMS. When `tibemsd` imports a TIBCO FTL message, these fields are converted into EMS sub-messages as shown below.

TIBCO FTL Field Type | EMS Field Type | Map Message Field Name
--- | --- | ---
`Message Array` | Sub-message with message fields named 0, 1, and so on. | `_ftlMsgArray:fieldname`
`char* array` | Sub-message with message fields named 0, 1, and so on. | `_ftlStringArray:fieldname`
`tibDateTime` | Sub-message with two fields: `s — long`, representing seconds. `n — long`, representing nanoseconds. | `_ftlDateTime:fieldname`
`tibDateTime array` | Sub-message containing `tibDateTime` equivalent sub-messages. Each submessage contains two fields: `s — long`, representing seconds. `n — long`, representing nanoseconds. | `_ftlDateTimeArray:fieldname`
`tibInbox` | Discarded during conversion | N/A
