Note:
  • When using the Data Load utility, the first line of the CSV file contains the column header definitions for the business object type.
  • When using the Catalog Upload feature, the first line of the CSV file contains the keyword for the business object type, and the second line contains the column header definitions for the business object type.
  • The keyword and CSV column or XML element header definition for the business object types are case sensitive.
  • Feature Pack 6 or laterIf you are loading information in an XML file, your business object type must be identified in the root element.
