Importers

Importers are used for importing usage data into Smile to complete rating and invoice generation.

A configured importer specifies the importer type, location or method of retrieving usage data files, configuration options applied during import, error actions, relevant services and the task schedule of the import action.

To view Smile Importers, select Importers under Services, Ordering & Rating on the Configuration and Tools page.

Importer types are internally defined in Smile. Importer types are advanced configuration. For more information, contact Inomial.

The Smile Importers main page displays a summary list of configured importers and import results. The following actions can be taken on configured importers:

View—displays current import results for an importer, including the number of successful and failed file and item events.
Configure—displays the configuration of the importer. The configuration of an importer can be edited.
View Errors—displays import errors by importer, failure type and missing subscriptions. For more information about how to check for failed import items, see the User Guide.
