In Talend Studio, you can import data records into a data
container from a zip file. Usually the zip file is the one where you save data records
exported from a data container with the same data structure in a different version of
Talend Studio.
Before you begin
You have already connected to the
Talend MDM Server from
Talend Studio. A data container with the
same data structure has been created.
Procedure
-
In the MDM Repository tree view, expand Data
Container.
-
Right-click the data container into which you want to import data records and
select Import content to MDM server from the contextual
menu.
A dialog box pops up.
-
Browse to the zip file from which you want to import data records.
-
Select the server on which data records to be imported will be stored and click
OK.
-
Select the entities to which you want to import data records, and change the
processing order of the entities to avoid violating foreign key constraints if
required.
In this example, the Product entity has foreign key links to
another two entities ProductFamily and
Store, and the
ProductFamily and Store
entities need to be processed with high priority.
Warning: If the entities to be
processed have foreign key constraints and are not in the right processing
order, data records will not be imported successfully.
-
Click OK.
A bar is displayed to indicate the progress of the import operation.
