Notes

If the SkipModifiedArguments setting is True, then the application expects a query that needs a modification date as an input parameter. This date should have the format YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.

For example:

Select * FROM <ImportDatabase> Where <ModificationDate> =%1

Where <ImportDatabase> is the name of the import database and <ModificationDate> is the date of the modification.
The ConnectionString setting in the ImportDB section may contain %1 as a placeholder for the intermediate filename. If so, then the user interface dialog will provide the option to specify the name manually. Do not use this feature when running in unattended mode.
After import, the import date is recorded in a text file and will be used in the next import. The name of the text file is Lastimport-<ConfigurationFileName>.log. The file will be located in the same folder as the application.
