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 Customers Online, you can load source files of organization, person, or contact data into the TCA import interface tables. See: File Loads Overview.

For the transfer of data from the interface tables into the TCA Registry, you have these options.

• 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.

• Use the Oracle Customer Data Librarian (CDL) batch import feature, if you have CDL. See: Import Batches Overview.

• Run the Import Batch to TCA Registry program using the Trading Community Manager responsibility. See: Import Batch to TCA Registry.

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