3. Data Import

Before you can use the batch system you have to import some data. There are three different import actions in OpenCA's batch system:
  1. new users

  2. new processes

  3. data for processes

All three formats are described in the following. You must store the three files on your dataexchange media in the files batch_new_user.txt, batch_new_process.txt and batch_process_data.txt. After the specifications you can find an example. First a description of the formats to create a new user and a new process. Both formats are very simple. The format to import the data is a little bit more complicated because it must support some special cases. Please respect the minimum keylength to avoid trouble. __user_defined__ means that you can store other data in the batchprocessor too. This is required for customized. If you need other data which you cannot import with this system then please write a mail and explain your requirements. Here you find now a very simple example for the two users Jon and Jane Doe.
