Hi Guys, I'm a bit stumped by this, and I can't imagine I'm the first person to need to import a bunch of party data from a flat file (CSV). I'm trying to figure out the Data File Tools. It makes one small mention of hierarchical flat files:
"can support hierarchical flat files (ie where parent/child relationships are implied by sub-records)." I have a CSV file, basically contains a bunch of potential customers from a CRM, exported in the following columns: PartyGroupName Address City stateProvinceGeoId postalCode countryGeoId TelecomNumber Super easy to just import the PartyGroupName, that's much is clear: <record name="PartyGroup" limit="many"> <field name="groupName" type="String" position="0"/> </record> Problem is the PostalAddress and TelecomNumber. Do I really need to create contactMechs and tie everything together? How do I model this in the XML schema if not? The documentation doesn't make another mention of this support for hierarchical flat files. -Forrest https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/OFBiz%27s+Data+File+Tools
