 +====== Enterprise Service Bus Data Handler - WorkXpress Import Actions ======
 +
 +===== Purpose =====
 +
 +This data handler allows a software developer to build a series of actions to store data it's importing from a CSV file.
 +
 +//This feature will be available in Platform Version 14.05.852.//​
 +
 +===== Triggering =====
 +
 +This Data Handler is triggered via an [[Action Type - Enterprise Service Bus|Enterprise Service Bus Action]]. ​ To see which actions will trigger this Data Handler use the "​Outgoing"​ tab on the [[Enterprise Service Bus|Enterprise Service Bus]] page.
 +
 +
 +===== Acessing the Action Tree =====
 +
 +To access the action tree and to start to build actions click on the link in the ESB Profile Configuration Page.
 +
 +===== Action Data =====
 +
 +Three pieces of data about the import file row are available inside the [[Expression Builder|Expression Builder]] in any action that is added to the action tree.
 +
 +The pieces of data that are available are:
 +  * Row Position - This is the row number starting from 1.
 +  * Row Count - This is the total count of all the rows in the file including the header row if it exists
 +  * Raw Row Data - This is the row data as read from the file with no modifications or cleanup.
 +
 +In addition to the row data defined above there will be a variable that contains the data for that column for each cell in the import.
 +
 +===== Automation Triggers =====
 +When an import is processed two separate action trees are executed.
 +
 +  * Validate Import - If there are actions defined in this tree then for each row in the import the actions are executed. ​ This allows the software developer to check the validity of each row before running the actual import. ​ If it is determined that the import should not run then the [[Action Type - Stop Import|Stop Import]] action can be used.  Note: if any [[Action Type - Set Field Value|Set Field Value]] actions or any other actions that cause changes to the database are run under this tree those changes will be kept regardless of using the Stop Import action.
 +  * Process Import - Actions under this tree are executed for each row in the import including the header row if it is defined. ​ If a Stop Import action is run in this action tree the import will stop on that row and the rest of the file will be skipped.
