You can back up the import file prior to it being processed to ensure that the process format and its preprocessor were configured correctly and no data is lost or damaged in the import file.

Tip:

It is considered a best practice to always set a backup path.

To enable backup prior to processing:

  1. Select the Backup Path option.
  2. Click the Backup Path button. The Backup Path dialog box is displayed.
  3. Enter the path of the directory to copy import files to in the Backup Location field, or click Browse to navigate to the folder.
    Note:

    If you enter a path that does not exist (i.e., a folder not already created), it will automatically be created when the process is run.

  4. Select Create Unique Subdirectories if multiple import files have the same file name and each of them need to be backed up.
    By default, if a process format uses an import file that has the same name as (but different content than) an existing backup file, the file is not processed. Select Create Unique Subdirectories to allow import files with the same name to be processed and backed up to unique subdirectories. When this option is selected, a unique subdirectory is created within the specified backup directory for each import file. The directory is named according to the following format, based on the date and time the process is run: Month_Date_Year_Hour_Minute_Second (i.e., mm_dd_yyyy_hh_mm_ss).
    Alternatively, select Allow Overwrite of Backup to have import files with the same name as an existing backup file overwrite the old backup. This can be useful if you frequently use import files with the same name and don't want a high volume of unique subdirectories.
    These options also function with FTP backups, if applicable.
  5. Click Save.
    Note:

    Typically, the XML Index DIP processor is run against the data file with only the Preprocess Options configured. This results in a “clean” data file that can then be viewed and used to configure the remaining processor configuration parameters.
