The basics

With the "Import" button, you import a file into the database of your Infront Portfolio Manager. Alternatively, select FILE, IMPORT… menu. This is the "core" function of PSI. Click the "Import" button and then select the file to be imported in the "Importing…" dialogue window which appears. You can see any error messages in the log window or log file.

The user is responsible for administration of the files to be imported. Your Portfolio Sync Interface cannot recognise "lost" or "logically incorrect" data. Only the data format is checked for accuracy. However, some rough consistency tests are performed.

You are responsible for the following activities:

• Data backup
• Regular clean-up of the data directory (archiving)
• If no automatic reconciliation is available, checking the posted records in the securities accounts of Infront Portfolio Manager
• Forwarding of the files (if no retrieval performed)
• Correct selection of the file to be imported

You can also select several files for importing in the dialogue window. During the reading process, the system arranges the data via the posting or transaction numbers.

When selecting several files, always ensure that they are imported in the right order. Problems may otherwise occur, such as when cancelling postings not yet imported into Infront Portfolio Manager.

In Infront Portfolio Manager, numbers are unique for every securities account. Thus, it is not possible to enter the same receipt record twice with an identical transaction number (or receipt number). If errors occur, it is therefore possible to read the file in again as the receipts already posted are not processed twice.

Avoid umlauts when naming the directories and paths in which you save the files that you want to import.
