Import Manager Usage : Approaches for developing Import file structure and text validations

Hi Experts,

We are having 50+ import maps. We have provided option to users to drop the files for data import. Currently Import Manager(7.1 Sp08) does not have capability of pre-import validation of file data such as

a. file structure - number of columns specific to import map

b. file text validations - special characters, empty lines, empty cells

c. Uniqueness of the records in the file

For this, we are planning to build temporary folder(port specific) in which user drops in the file. We use the custom development to do above mentioned validations and then move the files to actual import ports.

Please let us know if you have worked on similar requirements and how you have fulfilled such requirements.

Regards,

Ganga
