Flat File Import Outline

Use the outline to perform tasks in the proper order when you use the import file process to create users and sites in Profile Manager and Zebra PTT Pro.
  1. Analyze the AD user database to identify useful user attributes for attribute transformations.
  2. Create the user import file.
    • Use a file name that indicates the file contents. The file name is specified in the import job.
    • Encrypt the user import file.
  3. Create the site mapping file.
    • Use the file name agreed upon with your Zebra administrator. The name of the site mapping file is embedded in the Profile Manager database configuration and cannot be changed.
    • Encrypt the site mapping file.
  4. Copy the user import and site mapping files to the GCP or SFTP file repository.
  5. Verify that Zebra PTT Pro includes the departments (sites) that are populated with users during the import process. If the departments are not present, create the departments prior to import. Note that department names are case-sensitive.
  6. Configure Profile Manager.
    • Create the User Roles and Role Levels as defined in the user import file.
    • Create the attribute transformations.
      • Zebra PTT Pro
      • Profile Manager
      • Specify the import file column headers, maintain case sensitivity.
    • Create the import job.
      • Name the job.
      • Specify whether to import into Profile Manager, Zebra PTT Pro, or both.
      • Specify the name of the encrypted user import file
    • Run the import job.
    • Review the job logs.
In the PFM Proxy environment with multiple PFM Servers, the Import Job is executed only from a designated PFM server. The AD Connector and PFM Proxy are responsible for populating all the PFM and PTT Pro Servers in the environment.
