User scenario for importing data
Using these Blue Web Services, users are allowed to update datasource data. Creating new datasources and/or updating the schema of an existing datasource must be completed in the Blue Administration Console.
A simple user scenario might look like this:
- The user creates a datasource in the Blue Administration Console.
- The user imports data either manually or via a scheduled import (to create the necessary schema).
- Using Blue Web Services, the user calls the RegisterImportResponse function to begin the import process.
- Using Blue Web Services, the user calls the BRExecuteDataFileImport function to import the actual data.
- Using Blue Web Services, the user calls the BRFinalizeImport function to finalize the import process.
NOTE
Data must be imported manually at least once in order to generate a schema for the datasource. After the schema has been generated, the Blue Web Services functions can be called by third party programs to import and update the datasource.
Details on each of the relevant Blue Web Services functions are explained in the next section.
