How do I review and accept changes to the data definition?

First, access the Data Definition page and refresh the data definition:

1. Select Manage > Administration for Strategic Sourcing or Manage > Core Administration for Operational Procurement.
2. Select Integration Manager > Data Definition.
3. On the Data Definition page, select Refresh Data Definition - This ensures that you have the latest data for your installation.

Next, review and accept changes to the data definition:

1. Select Actions > Review next to a data import or export task in Changed status.
2. Select the comma-separated values (CSV) file name (for a file channel event) or group name (for a web services integration task) in Needs Review status.
3. Review the changes. The New Field column shows the new data definition.
4. If ready to accept the displayed changes, select Accept Changed Fields; otherwise, select Exit.
5. After accepting all changes in the data import or export task, select Publish All Changes and OK to incorporate the changes into the task.

Repeat steps 3 through 5 for all files or groups with changes.

In the default configuration, you must accept all the changes to the data import or export task for any of the changes to take effect. To accept data definition changes at the field-level (only some new/updated fields in a file), enable the Application.Messaging.Integration.EnableAcceptingFieldLevelDataDefinitionChanges parameter.

You must be a member of the Integration Admin group in order to have access to the Refresh Data Definition option.
