File Format for Importing Apportionment Definition

The CSV file must contain comma separate columns and optionally can have quotes around string values.

The first row must be a column header and the order of arrangement can be interchanged.

The apportionment definition file must conform to the column names below:

Column Column Name Table Field
1 Resource APPBE.CECODE
2 Result APPBE.RESULT
3 Source Resource APPBEDTL.SRC_CECODE

Columns 1-3 are required for the first resource record budgeted by apportionment. Any subsequent record with the same Resource or Result will not require columns 1-2 until another resource record need to be updated.

The following validations take place:
  • Resource in Column 1 must exist in the specified resource file.
  • Result in Column 2 must be a valid result for the resource file based on the selection in the Resource file information.
  • Source Resource in Column 3 must exist in the specified resource file.
  • The resource file should not contain blank rows between the records. If there is a blank row, Cobra will assume that the row is the end of the file and there are no more records to process.
  • The resource file should contain all resource apportionment definitions.
  • Cobra will not update specific records.
  • All existing resource apportionment definitions will be deleted and replaced with those in the import file.
  • Multiple records with different result for one single apportionment resource will use the first specified result.
  • The resource file should not contain a record used both as Resource and Source Resource as this causes circular reference. Cobra will display a warning message in the log and will not load the resource apportionment definition.
