You would use the dictionary item to know WHERE to put the data in U2 .... which file, attribute etc. .... if you are talking multi-values (or "deeper") then this could also be driven from the dictionary, which would provide you with the capability of performing some "mapping" ....
UNLESS .... you are in the position to dictate the format of the file you are trying to import (aka "upload"?) into UV. But, if you wanted to be able to map an arbitrary data source, as suggested by George, using a dictionary would allow you to achieve the result in a "point & click" manner --> and depending on the dictionary could also ensure that you don't "download" incomplete or invalid data into an otherwise (hopefully) "clean" environment, setup defaults etc Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage > Better by Design! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Saturday, 27 October 2012 11:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] UPLOAD not DOWNLOAD <snip> I'm confused about your mention of Dict items because I don't see how you use Dict items for Uploading. I see how you use them for Downloading. Maybe you could give an example of why you would read the Dict for an upload. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
