Address Information

Use this utility to import address additions, changes, and deletions. All of the imported data will be validated just as if the addresses were being added or modified manually. If Business Rules are set not to parse addresses, detailed information such as house number, street name, predirectional, street type, etc., will not be validated.

After importing the address data, an audit report will be created that displays the number of records added, changed and deleted along with any errors encountered. Error messages are written to the log.

File mapping is used to define the format of the import file (see Appendix B).

Note: If you cleanse addresses, run Batch Address Hygiene after importing addresses to cleanse them. The Address Information import only validates address elements, such as street type.

• Select Import | Address Information to display the Address Import window.

• Click Add and complete the following fields.

Field	Type	What to enter
READ OPTION	predefined	Indicate whether the import should be run in commit mode (transactions imported into Circulation) or edit mode (no transactions imported—the file is simply read and any errors displayed).

FILE FORMAT	setup	Select a File Map format to use for this address import.
FILE NAME	open (30)	Enter the name of the address file being imported. The file must be in the /dti/exchange/cm directory.
