Sapphire Gateway II API Templates Overview
Sapphire Gateway II templates are unpopulated, comma-delimited text files that conform to the layout required by the Sapphire Gateway II API for successful data import into your organisation’s data file.
Never directly import gateway files into an active live data file. First, prepare a recent version of your production data file using the same build as the server, and initiate it in Single User Mode. Conduct a trial import with the intended data and meticulously review the outcome, ensuring particularly that the columns in the import file align correctly with the appropriate fields in your data file replica. After confirming the test import is accurate and everything appears in order, proceed to create a backup of the production (live) data file, and only then carry out the actual import. If discrepancies are detected, identify and rectify the issues in the import file, then re-attempt the import with a new copy of the production data file. Always prioritise testing before importing your data.
Preparing Sapphire Gateway II API Templates
SapphireOne will provide templates to our clients during implementation or on-request. You may also consult the Sapphire Gateway II Tables article for a concise list of table variables. These tables are updated periodically to incorporate new features, and such updates will be documented in due course.
