Import Sets: How to check ignored records?

[felixs]

Hello all,

New admin here, one of my first projects is to import some data into one of our databases and update a particular field. Pretty straight forward. Running through it in our Test instance before moving to Dev. Ive successfully created an import set with no errors. However there were 3 ignored records. I understand there could be lots of reasons for this. However, for now, Id just like to know:

1. A way to check which records were ignored specifically

2. Any log record stating why or give a clue as to why it was ignored.

3. If there is nothing that is done automatically baseline. Is there a way I can attach a script to the import set in order to process a log or a debug message as to what record failed/ignored?

I tried checking the Import Log (from the "Next steps..." section) but it really didnt give me any info that would help me. Even checked the related link of "Show Log Entries" and nothing useful there (from what I could decipher).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Good to know Pradeep.

FWIW, This list can get long because it's ALL transform histories. The method I did had just the ones related to the import you did. (Much like looking at all incidents or just those associated with the user on the user form.)

Agree. I generally sort by updated records from the list and that makes simple to find all records.

Hello All,

I needs to import all the records from AD, however when I am manually running the scheduled import, there were many of the records were ignored with the comments as no field value changed.

I want to import all the record, as I have written onbefore transform script for updating some fields in user table. Can any one help me how to make all the records to be processed?

Vinoth, may I ask if you know WHY these records are being ignored in the first place? There are several reasons this could be and they should be explored first.

Hi Nestor,

It is a scheduled import, I have been doing some changes in onBefore transform script and the reason why it is being ignored was because as there is no change in source and target table. Showing message as "no field value changed.

For one time alone I need to import all the record despite even if there is no change in field value
