Self Configuring DIP is used to import files from an existing OnBase system (or from a third-party Foreign Disk Group) into another OnBase system. A Self Configuring DIP uses a specialized Import Index file that the user generates directly from the files to be processed into the new system. It is not necessary to configure Document Fields when using a Self Configuring DIP. During Ordered and Tagged DIP processes, the import processor uses the Field Configuration to determine the values associated with each imported document (Keyword Values, Document Type, etc.). In a Self Configuring DIP process, the import processor does not need to determine any values associated with the documents. All necessary information that would be configured in Field Configuration for other types of DIP processes is contained directly in the Import Index file.
After you finish generating the Import Index file, continue to Create a DIP Format, Create a DIP Format.
