Importing Data with Data Loader In a Nutshell The following document describes the process for importing data using the Data Loader. The Data Loader is located at Master Data Management > Settings > Data Loader. Import Limitations The maximum number of rows in an imported excel is 20000. This value can be changed via a company setting DataLoader.MaxRows. The rate limit of parallel files imports is 5. At any point in time there cannot be more than 5 (default) upload files being processed. This value can be changes via a company setting CoreSystems.DataLoader.UploadFrequency. Currently there is no mechanism for a server to inform Data Loader UI about the progress of the import. For time consuming uploads (e.g. files with large number of rows) the import operation in the backend can take so long that the Data Loader UI will time out with an error. Please note that in those cases the import operation is still running on the server. The only way to know whether an operation is completed is to manually monitor progress via an Admin Query API. Sometimes it could happen (for more complex imported objects) that the upload operation will also fail on the server. If this happens, please lower the row number in an imported file. Data Loader Templates The Data Loader Templates are used to upload data managed in other systems to the SAP FSM Cloud for use in the Field Service Management applications. The fields contained in the template references correspond to the column names used in the SAP FSM Cloud Data Model. The id columns may refer to: the externalId property supported in version 4 of the Data API the code property (generally specific to ERPs) or to name property, or even to userName/emailAddress. This column is used to connect data objects to one another. For example, a Contact record could specify the id of a Business Partner, which would then connect the Contact to the Business Partner. Note: For more information on the Data Objects supported by the Data Loader (including constraints, types, and categories), refer to the Data Object table below. Select the data object template you would like to learn more about from the header row below. You can then toggle between data object templates to view how connections can be made between them using the id field. Note: All required data template columns are indicated by an asterisk (*). All unrequired columns can be removed if not needed for data import.
