Log File & Rollback Import

After Import completes the PIM will return to the "Edit Import Task" window and under the "Processed" column you may see  that the system data is "Processing." Once the PIM finishes processing (this may take some time depending on the number of tasks in the queue and the size of you import that you completed.) PIMInto gives you a one click "Rollback" import capability to roll back an entire import.  This rollback functionality is available for a limited period of time after the import is performed.  As modifications are made to the underlying products in the PIM the values of attributes that were imported will deviate from the original import state. After an indeterminate period of time attempting t roll back after the data has changed is no longer feasible. While the rollback feature is available, you can even roll back the import of only specific attributes while leaving the other import values untouched.

Disclaimer It is important to understand that Roll Back, while it will roll back changes performed by an import process, the PIM is a multi-user environment and more than one user or process may be modifying data at any particular moment in time. There may be occasions where the value for specific attributes are not rolled back to the expected values due to edits to the attributes by other user or processes before or after the import process occurred.

Scope of Roll Back The dropdown allows the user to select the scope of the rollback. The rollback can be limited to a specific attribute, or to the entire import.

Accept conditions It is required that you accept and acknowledge the limitations and conditions related to rollback prior to performing a rollback task.

Cancel Button Cancel the rollback request and return to the previous screen.
