Is there a way to reprocess Import API records?

[peterraeves]

We created an Import Set API and made is very restrictive. Only when everything is entered correctly by the correct user, it goes through. Though sometimes we want to reprocess the record after a change was made. What would the easiest way be to reproduce a record on an Import Set API table?

What we do now, is to go to the REST API Explorer and send the information as the user that sent the information. This process is manual and error prone, so is there a better way?

We are thinking of creating a button 'Reprocess', which removes the meta data, and creates a copy. Or might there be a better way? Is there no OOTB way to reprocess such records?

Hi Peter,

If you go in to System Import Sets> Advanced> Import sets, you'll see that there is already a "Reprocess" UI action in the Related Links section. It appears on any import set that has a state of Processed.

I assume that would reprocess the complete Import Set, which I don't really want. Is there a way to reprocess just a single Import Set Row in the Import Set?

[Chuck Tomasi]

Yes, that will reprocess the entire import set.

Do a quick check for me (as I cannot at this time). I thought REST processed each import record individually in its own import set, so you may be good in this case.

It processes more It's not a fixed number, but I have seen from 150 to 200 records per Import Set (per Transform Map).
