Importing data into a context table

To import data to a context table:

1. In the KUMA web interface, select the Resources section.
2. In the Services section, click the Active services button.
3. In the context menu of the correlator to whose context table you want to import data, select Go to context tables.

   This opens the Correlator context tables window.

4. Select the check box next to your context table and click Import.

   This opens the context table data import window.

5. Click Add and select the file that you want to import.
6. In the Format drop-down list select the format of the file:
   • csv
   • tsv
   • internal
7. Click the Import button.

The data from the file is imported into the context table. Records that previously existed in the context table are preserved.

When importing, KUMA checks the uniqueness of each record's key. If a record already exists, its fields are populated with new values obtained by merging the previous values with the field values of the imported record.

If no record existed in the context table, a new record is created.

Data imported from a file is not checked for invalid characters. If you use this data in widgets, widgets are displayed incorrectly if invalid characters are present in the data.
