Simulating an Import of a Business Adapter
When you run a simulation, Business Adapter Studio processes all of the data as if an import were taking place, and lists the number of records that would have been processed and the number of records that would be rejected.
This means that you can review the results of the simulated import, and, if necessary, refine the connection settings before doing an actual import and changing the FlexNet Manager Suite data.
A simulation does not load data into the object records in the compliance database in FlexNet Manager Suite, but it does update the history tables for every object that would have been affected were the import actually performed, to record that a simulation has taken place. These history records are visible in the History tabs of each object’s property sheet.
Once you are satisfied with the results of a simulated import, you can perform a real import. Even after performing a simulation, it is best practice to run the first import on a test database rather than in your production environment.
