Running a batch import or export

A batch import and export can either be triggered to run manually, or by using the iBase Scheduler. If you are importing or exporting large volumes of data, you might want to run batch specifications when your system is less busy.

1. In the Database Explorer view, right-click either Import Batch Specifications or Export Batch Specifications.
2. From the menu, select List.
3. Load the required batch specification by double-clicking.
4. Review the details of the batch specification.
5. When you are ready to run the batch specification, click Run.
