Updates / New Features
- XML Import: A new facility has been added to KE EMu 3.2 that allows data files to be imported. The import tool accepts the following file formats:
- XML (eXtensible Markup Language)
- CSV (Comma Separated Values)
- Tab delimited
The facility has a number of features:
- a wizard to guide you through the import process
- support for record creation and updating
- user selectable options on how attachments should be resolved:
- create new record
- generate an error
- use first match
- stop import and ask which attachment to use
- perform data validation before loading
- applies standard insertion functionality:
- lookup list insertion (provided read/write access is enabled)
- auto-fill applied
- mandatory fields checked
- IRN range checked
- insert default values filled
- a log file is generated with three levels of verbosity selectable.
- erroneous records added to an error file in the same format as the import file, allowing errors to be corrected and then reloaded.
- a subset of the records in the data file may be loaded by providing a start record number and the number of records to import.
- a new operational privilege, daImport, allows access to the import facility to be restricted on a user/group and module basis.
- standard operational and security privileges apply throughout the import process.
- an Import identifier can be assigned, allowing easy retrieval of all imported records.
- when the process has completed, the records imported are displayed.
How to use the Import tool documentation. - Ditto change: When the ditto record is changed it is now updated for all instances of the module that are in use, rather than just the one in which the change was made.

Upgrade Notes
Due to the change from KE Texpress 8.1.001 to KE Texpress 8.1.003 the upgrade process from KE EMu 3.1 to KE EMu 3.2 requires a number of steps to be performed. In order to streamline this process a separate set of notes has been produced describing the complete upgrade process. Please use these notes when upgrading rather than the standard upgrade procedure:
If the version of Crystal reports shipped with the client installation has changed, you will need to install the KE EMu client on all client machines, otherwise a network install is sufficient.
