Create an OIDC type data source record to define what data an import set should import.

Before you begin

Role required: import_admin

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > System Import Sets > Administration > Data Sources.
  2. Click New.
  3. Complete the form.
    FieldDescription
    Name A unique name for this data source.
    Import set table label A label for the import set staging table to use.
    Import set table name The Now Platform uses the label you entered to construct a unique table name. This prevents namespace collision with an already existing table.
    Type OIDC.
    Use Batch Import If selected, specifies that loading data should be batched when you click Load data or Test load 20 records.
    Batch Size Specifies how big the batches should be. Appears only when the Use Batch Import field is selected.
    The glide.import_set_load_usebatch and glide.import_set_load_batch_size properties affects these fields. The priority order for the properties and fields are as follows: If the property is set, use the property value. If not, use the field value. If neither property is set, use the default batch size of 1000.
    • For example, if glide.import_set_load_usebatch = true and glide.import_set_load_batch_size = 200, use 200 as the batch size, regardless of the field values.
    • For example, if glide.import_set_load_usebatch = true and the glide.import_set_load_batch_size property is not set, use the default batch size of 1000.
    • For example, if the glide.import_set_load_usebatch property is not set and the Use Batch Import field = true, use the Batch Size field value (or the default of 1000 if the Batch Size field value is not set)
    • For example, if the glide.import_set_load_usebatch property = false and the Use Batch Import field = true, do not use batch import, since the property is set to false.
    Format Defaults to -- None -- and can't be changed.
  4. Click Submit.

What to do next

Define a transform map for the new data source and run an import.
