1.1.11. LinkDB Import

Just as links can be saved in the LinkDB, they can also be imported from there to PARTdataCenter. Links can then be validated, for example, and then exported to the LinkDB again.

  1. First, a process must be created for the export.

    Under Processes, click on the context menu command Add new process.

    -> A new (not yet labeled) entry appears under Processes.

  2. Select the new entry.

    Click the Load predefined button template . -> The Pipeline Template Selection dialog box opens.

    Click on the Import template.

    -> The import pipeline is now displayed in the right-hand settings area.

    Select the individual nodes one after the other.

  3. LinkDB source

    Select the LinkDB source node and make the necessary settings.

      Test the login for correctness by clicking on Login [Log in].

      • Import catalog: Enter the PARTsolutions catalog (possibly more than one).

        [Note]Note

        The list of displayed catalogs is the set of unique TREETABLE (LEVEL1) entries.

        If the list is empty, you are either not logged in or the TREETABLE does not contain any entries.
