Schedule an Import External Data Action

Use the Scheduler's Import External Data Action to import data from external databases (ex: Active Directory) into CSM on a scheduled basis. When you define an Import External Database Action, CSM launches the External Data Import Wizard to help you define the import.

Good to know:

• You must have either a mapped CSM Business Object or an External Business Object to hold the external data that is imported.
• For more information about importing external databases, refer to Import External Data into a Business Object.

1. Open the Scheduler.

   To open the Scheduler window:

   1. In the CSM Administrator main window, click the Scheduling category, and then click the Edit Schedule task.

5. Click the Setup button to open the External Data Import Wizard.
