Bulk import is the process of loading customer data in bulk from legacy, third party, or other external sources into the TCA Registry.

In Oracle Customer Data Librarian (CDL), you can use:

• File Load: Load files of high volume organization, person, or contact data into the TCA import interface tables. See: File Loads Overview.

• Batch Import: Transfer batches of data from the interface tables into the TCA Registry. See: Import Batches Overview.

With Batch Import, you can review the batch and control the import process. Alternatively, if the appropriate import profile options are set, the file load data can automatically transfer from the interface tables into the Registry, as soon as the file load completes successfully. See: Setting Up Import, Oracle Customers Online Implementation Guide.

The import is only for information on the party level. To import both party and account information, use Customer Interface. See: Customer Interface.
