Data Transfer Wizard

Use the Data Transfer wizard to transfer ARCHIBUS data in or out of your databases, and to generate Comparison reports to verify your changes. Data transfer uses comma-separated values (CSV) format, or XLS - Excel XML format. See Supported Formats.

The Data Transfer wizard has three tabs:

Transfer Action: Select Transfer Out, Transfer In or Compare as the action. Compare generates log files that document the records that are newly added or updated. These reports are generated without making any changes to the database, so they can be used to verify your changes before actually processing the import files.
Transfer Format: You can transfer data using comma-separated values (CSV) or XLS - Excel XML formats.
Transfer Progress: This tab shows the data transfer job progress. On completion of an export, the Result View or File section includes the URL to the export file. When transferring data in, if you have chosen to generate Comparison reports, an insert and update log are also available in the lower section of the screen. If there are errors. an error log is always generated.
