Creating an import from JAMIS to e-timecard

The steps below apply to both the initial import and all subsequent imports.

Caution: It is critical that you follow precisely the steps for running the interface. This ensures accurate accruals for employee vacation, sick, and holidays. Read about integrating for the first time with JAMIS or a third party for more information.

To import data from JAMIS to e-timecard

  1. From the JAMIS Administration home page > Daily Processes tab, under Interfaces, click Import from JAMIS. Or, from the top of any JAMIS Administration screen, click Interfaces > Import from JAMIS. The Import from JAMIS to e-timecard/e-xpense screen appears.

  2. The path where the JAMIS data files reside defaults from your setting in the Input Location of Interface File field on the e-timecard Initialization screen, Interface Options tab. You can change the path for this import if you wish.

    Hint:     Make sure that the permission granted on the input directory is sufficient to allow the import program to access it.

  3. Place a check in any field for which you want to retain the current e-timecard setting.

  4. Click the Do you wish to import? check box.

  5. Click OK to run the import.

  6. The Process Queue Setup screen appears. You can change the default options if necessary.

  7. Click OK.

  8. A dialog box appears with the process ID. Make a note of it and click OK. The program runs the import and places your process in the process queue.

  9. From the top of the screen, click Management > Process Queue. The Process Queue Management screen appears. Under Filters, your user ID and the status of Not Completed default, and the bottom section of the screen automatically lists processes that match these criteria.

    Hint:     If you do not see your process, select a different status from the dropdown list, then click Retrieve. For example, if you think that your process may be finished, select Completed. If you have trouble finding your process, you can select All to view all processes, though this may result in a large list.

  10. Look for your process ID to view the status of the import. The Status column shows that the process is pending, running, or failed.
