Postpone import

You can postpone the import of individual import files. This can be useful if, for example, you want to stop a specific file from being imported during an import execution that involves multiple import files.

The following table indicates in which status pending imports can still be postponed:

Status

Step by step

To postpone the import of individual files, proceed as follows:

  1. Click the Import Automation agent on the (Global settings) tab.

    The Imports tab with the overview of created imports will be displayed.

  2. Click the (View pending imports) button in the toolbar.

    The View pending imports dialog box opens.

  3. Select the import file whose import you want to postpone.
  4. Click the (Postpone import) button.

    The Postpone import dialog box opens.

  5. Click Postpone import.
  • You have now postponed the import of an import file.

Note: You will receive an error message if the automatic import process has reached the point where it can no longer be postponed.

Note: Please note that import files whose import has been postponed can only be imported again at the start of the next import interval. You cannot initiate a postponed import manually.
