SimpleImport

This class provides methods that allow importing data from external parties,

import(record, testMode)

The method takes the record from the sys_import_source tables and imports the entries from the attachment to the table created via the import_set_table_name field of the sys_import_source table. As a result, we get a table with temporary records - an Importset, from which the records import to any other table will be performed.

The record parameter must be the record from the sys_import_source table.

The testmode parameter is a Boolean parameter. If its value is TRUE, then it will perform the test import and indicate operation status as "test".

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

var imp = new SimpleImport();
imp.import(current);

transform(record)

This method transposes entries from the import set to the table. It uses the active transform map, which is located in the sys_map_transform table.

• source - the current import set table;
• target - the destination import set table.

The record parameter must be the entry from the sys_import_set table.

A transform map is a set of field maps that determine the relationships between fields in an import set and fields in an existing table.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

var imp = new SimpleImport();
imp.transform(current);

testLdapConnection(record)

The record parameter must be the record from the sys_ldap_server or sys_ldap_definition tables.

This method checks the connection to the LDAP server and alerts about the successful connection, or about an error.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

var imp = new SimpleImport();
var result = imp.testLdapConnection(current);
if (result.flash.type === "success") {
	ss.addInfoMessage(result.flash.message);
}
if (result.flash.type === "error") {
	ss.addErrorMessage(result.flash.message);
} (edited)

importTransform(record)

This method is used for the automatic scheduled import.

The record parameter must be the record from the sys_schedule_import table.

Method gets the record from the sys_schedule_import table and performs import and transform in one time.

Parameter(s):

Return:

Example:

var imp = new SimpleImport();
imp.importTransform(current);
