In this subsection of the “Administration” section you can import .json files with configuration data regarding catalogs, mapping profiles, cleanser and validation profiles as well as global validators. In this way, you can import configuration data that has been exported and edit outside iPIM back into the system to update the respective catalogs accordingly.
Import catalogs

- In the “Import catalogs” row, click on the
button to call up the corresponding dialog box.
- Drag the .json file over the drop area and drop it there or click on the
button to call up the import file via the file manager. Afterwards the file is loaded into the cache and the file name is shown below the drop area. - Possibly tick the “Import process config” checkbox in order to export process configuration data in addition to the basic configuration data.
- In order to trigger the import, click on the
button. If the process was successful, a corresponding message will appear. The configuration data of the catalog is now imported. In the process, a copy of the original catalog is created. The copy bears the prefix “Imported:”. - In oder to cancel the process, click on the

If you import a .json file with a mapping profile whose ID already exists in the system, an input request appears.
