Step 3: Start the Import

To import data from the interface tables, the Run PPM Organization Unit Interface report is used.

The Run PPM Organization Unit Interface report:

• Populates the interface tables with records from the LDAP server

• Validates the user information

• Imports validated organization units and organization unit members into PPM tables

• Reports on the results of the execution, listing the specified users that failed validation and the specific validation errors they encountered

Note: You can import users from Org Units that do not have unique names but are of different hierarchical levels. A Hierarchy column or option is added to pages or popup windows that are related to Org Units to help differentiate the hierarchical levels of the Org Units you import.

To run the Run PPM Organization Unit Interface report:

1. Log on to PPM.

2. From the menu bar, select Open > Reports > Create Report.

   The Submit New Report page appears.

3. Select Administrative from the Report Category.

   The page is updated showing the list of administrative reports.
