Import Action

Import action is useful when there is an already uploaded Data Source to import.

To initiate the Import workflow event and to spawn the catalog record add event through FileWatcher, put at least one file in the $Relative/URI/incoming directory. This file can be empty.

FileWatcher polls for a file in the incoming directory and then processes the DataSets. If the <Action> tag requires the usage of the file (as in Load/LoadImport), the file is used. Otherwise, the file is not used. The file is moved to the folder specified in the <Done> or <Rejected> tag after the action is completed.

Note: The ImportCatalog activity is not supported for in-memory workflows.
