Creating the Source System for Your Data



Steps:

  1. Hello, my name is John and today I will talk about importing sales account information from a file.

    Step 1

  2. In this demo, I will show you how to create the source system required for importing your sales account data.

    Step 2

  3. This is the fourth in a series of demos that show how to  import sales accounts from a file.

     

    In this series, we are importing a sample template you can download from support.oracle.com.

    Step 3

  4. You create a source system so that you can identify the source of your legacy data in your import file.

     

    Oracle permits you to import data from multiple sources. Without identifying the source, you could end up with duplicate IDs which would corrupt your data.

    Step 4

  5. When you create the source system, you enter a code that you use for all the Original System attributes in the import file.

    Step 5

  6. This code, together with the Original System Reference IDs in the file, ensure uniqueness of your data.

    Step 6

  7. To create the source system, sign in as a user with setup responsibilities and navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.

    Step 7

  8. Click the Navigator link.

    Step 8

  9. Click the Setup and Maintenance link.

    Step 9

  10. Search for the Manage Trading Community Source Systems task.

    Step 10

  11. Enter the desired information into the Name field. Enter

     a valid value
     e.g.

    .

    Step 11

    Step 12

  13. Let's go to the task.

    Click the Go to Task button.

    Step 13

  14. Now let's create the source system.

    Step 14

  15. Click the Create button.

    Step 15

  16. In the Code field, enter the value you will use in the import file.

    Step 16

  17. And enter a name for the source system.

    Step 17

  18. Enable this source system for importing customer data by selecting the Enable for Trading Community Members option.

    Step 18

  19. Let's save our new source system and we are done.
