import version 2

Use this resource to import code values, value mappings, and hierarchy relationships.

Import code values

Imports code values with optional custom headers into a code list.
Note: Validation checks are not performed when you import code values.

POST request

To import code values into a code list, submit a POST request with the following URI:
/rdm-service/external/v2/import
The request contains form-data with the following parameters:
file
Specify a CSV file that contains the code value attributes. The columns specified depend on your data model. The CSV must contain one or two header rows, followed by the data rows. If the occurrence of header row is one in the import CSV file, you must set the repeatHeaders field to false.
Note: You can provide a single header row in the CSV file because it no longer requires two header rows.
For example, you might have the following code values:
CountryName,CountryCode
CountryName,CountryCode
Afghanistan,AFG
Aland Islands,ALA
Albania,ALB
Algeria,DZA
American Samoa,ASM
Note: You can provide additional information about a code value. For example, you might want to assign a code value to the Approved status. In the status.key column for the code value, enter the key value for the system reference data value that you want to assign. For more information about your configured system reference data values, see Get system reference data values.
If an import file doesn't contain business IDs, Reference 360 automatically generates them based on the business ID configuration in a code list.
importSettings
Specify the file-specific configuration and container details.
The importSettings parameter includes the following attributes:
Field
Type
Description
headerLinePresent
Boolean
Indicates whether the header line is present. Value is true or false. Default is true.
nestedFieldSeparator
String
Separator used to separate a nested field. Value is SEMICOLON or DOT. Default is DOT.
headerLineNumber
String
Line number from which the header line starts. Default is 1.
delimiter
String
Delimiter used to separate values. Value must be COMMA, SEMICOLON, SPACE, or TAB.
textQualifier
String
Symbol used to indicate where a text begins and ends. Value must be DOUBLE_QUOTE, SINGLE_QUOTE, or NO_QUOTE.
codepage
String
Code page used for the import file. Value must be UTF8 or MS_WINDOWS.
dateFormat
String
Format used for dates. Use one of the following formats:
  • - DE. For dd.mm.yyyy format.
  • - ISO. For yyyy-mm-dd format.
  • - US. For mm/dd/yyyy format.
containerType
String
Type of asset that contains code values. Value must be codelist.
containerId
String
The ID of the code list to which you want to import code values.
Note: You can find the ID of assets in Reference 360 or use REST APIs to retrieve the IDs. For more information, see Asset IDs.
startingRow
String
Line number from which to start importing data. By default, all rows are imported.
repeatHeaders
Boolean
Optional. Indicates whether the file has two headers. Value is true or false. Default is true.
mappings
Object
Optional. Maps the column headers in the CSV file with the target attributes of code lists in the key-value format.
  • - You can map the user-defined column name to source field name if required.
  • - You can either choose to ignore the mapping or map all the columns in an import CSV file.
Note: The key represents the header in the CSV file, and the value represents the field names in Reference 360.
For example, if the business ID column in the input CSV is labeled as sequence, the following mapping represents the mapping for the business ID column:
"sequence" : "businessID"
If mappings aren't specified in the import settings, Reference 360 selects the businessID column by default.
approvalOptions
-
Includes details about the approval parameters.
priority
String
Optional. Defines the priority of the approval request. Value can be LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or CRITICAL.
dueDate
