For scheduled ingest to import XML file to database, the following criteria must be met:
- Only one XML file per day can be imported.
- The file name must complied with naming format “TIMED_REC_yyyymmdd.xml”.
- If the date in file name referred to past date, the import would not take place.
- If the date in file name is present date, only the future events are imported.
- If the date in file name refer to future date, all events would be imported and replace the events in database.
- If the asset imported does not exist in database, the asset would be created with type “0000”
