About Import Rule Sets

You can use Import Rule Sets to customize object imports. You can adapt default values of parameters, for example, to a target RunMyJobs instance. You can also use Import Rule Set actions to further customize imported objects during the import process with RedwoodScript.

For information, see Working with Import Rule Sets.

Note: If you import an object (other than a table) that already exists in the target RunMyJob instance, the existing object is overwritten by imported object.

Import Rules

Import Rule Sets can contain Import Rules. An Import Rule lets you adjust parameters during import. For example, you can adjust parameters such as INSTANCE, CLIENT, or USERNAME for SAP Process Definitions. You can specify Import Rules for:

  • Pre-Import

  • Post Import

  • Post Persist

Actions on Import Rule Sets let you specify RedwoodScript code to be executed against imported objects before they are written to the database. You can specify such code on the Actions tab of an Import Rule Set, and can make use of the classes that you have stored in a library.

Note: You should not persist the session in Import Rule Set actions, because this is done for you at a later stage.
