Technical Information

This section discusses processing details and the information derived when importing subcontractor detail information into Costpoint.

Processing Details

1. Any pre-existing information in the worktables is deleted. (Normally, there is not any data in these tables at the start of processing unless a previous attempt to use the Import Subcontractor Detail screen terminated abnormally.)
2. If a SCHEMA.INI file does not exist in the Import Directory, Costpoint creates one when you click the Upload button on the Import Subcontractor Detail screen. This file must exist in the import directory for the Subcontractor Detail Preprocessor to validate any information in the input files. 
3. The preprocessor checks the length of each field as it is being read into the worktables. If a field is too long to fit into the worktable, it is truncated.
4. Worktables are populated with the information from the .csv files. NULL columns are replaced with default work assignment information, if appropriate, and then all records are validated.
5. Error information is inserted into the D_xxxSMPSUBC_ERR table. This information is displayed on the Import Subcontractor Detail screen after the upload step is complete; you can sort the information by double-clicking the column heading. You can print the Import Subcontractor Detail Error Report for review.
6. The Upload process must complete without errors before you can import into the database. When the Upload completes without errors, you can print the Import Subcontractor Detail Report.
7. Once you have printed the Import Subcontractor Detail Report, the import process is enabled and you can import records into the database.
