Configuring the import settings

The settings in the Import section are used by the Global Collaboration Framework import processors. This section contains the settings described in the following table:

Import settings
Setting	Description
CheckSequence	When set to True, imports briefcases in the order that they were created. If an error occurs (a briefcase is lost, for example) the import stops and reports the missing briefcase. The last briefcase number is stored in the file with the name <SourceShareName>.last. If set to False, the order of the briefcases is ignored.
InPath	The path to the folder where incoming briefcases are stored.
LogPathIn	The path to the folder containing the log files generated by the import processor.
ArchiveFolder	The path where briefcases are archived after having been imported. Archiving briefcases is useful for troubleshooting and for restoring data after the vault has been restored from a backup.
MaxArchiveFiles	The maximum number of briefcases to archive.

Following is an example of the settings in the Import section:

[Import] 
ArchiveFolder = "D:\GCF\In\Collaboration1\Archive"
CheckSequence = True
InPath = "D:\GCF\In\Collaboration1" 
LogPathIn = "D:\GCF\Log\Collaboration1"  
MaxArchiveFiles = 500

Warning In order to guarantee the correct import order of the received briefcases, the InPath setting should refer to a folder on an NTFS volume or another volume for which Windows will by default sort the briefcases alphabetically by name. FAT volumes do not meet this requirement.
