Parameters

none

Result

Returns OK or error.

Description

Performs import.
Normally we do import on idle while a script pause. But on server this does not work.
You can call this method in a loop to do the inserts for the import.
But it will not create the tables and fields required for import.

If you call XML.Import.Work manually, you may not need a script pause, except if fields and tables should be created.

Examples

Import on server:

Set Variable [$text; Value:MBS("Text.ReadTextFile"; "/Users/cs/Desktop/test.xml"; "UTF-8")]
Set Variable [$r; Value:MBS("XML.Import"; $text; ""; "")]
Set Variable [$text; Value:""]
If [MBS("IsError") = 0]
Set Variable [$total; Value:MBS("XML.Import.Total")]
Loop
Set Variable [$work; Value:MBS("XML.Import.Work")]

Set Variable [$status; Value:MBS("XML.Import.Status")]
Exit Loop If [$status ≠ "Working"]
End Loop
End If
