About Data Import/Export Framework (DIEF)

DIEF

The Data Import/Export Framework (DIEF) enables you to export data to a spreadsheet in which you can modify the data; and then to import the modified spreadsheet. Newly imported data must be posted to come into effect.

Architecture

Processing Groups

Processing group defines the entity or entities which needs to be migrated from Source to Staging and then from Staging to Target.

DIEF Template - Source file

  • There is a DIEF template file for each processing group.
  • Each DIEF template file is a .csv file.
  • Columns on DIEF template cannot be moved or removed.
  • Some columns in the DIEF are mandatory and must be populated, otherwise importing the file will fail.
