When an external data file is imported using a Collection Mailbox, all the 
associated message identifiers are tracked by the system according to the 
following process:

Using Database Tables in the Administration Guide

1

When outbound data flows through the system, the Collection 
Mailbox creates a data file and an associated message ID in its 
Outbox (with ContentType set to Application/Import).

2

The Collection Mailbox sends it to your Gentran Application Inbox, 
creating a new target message ID.

Note
For a Mailbox Import, you must specify the UNC path and file name 
on the System Configuration Imports tab. This specification must 
exactly match the path you set for the TRANSIN directory on the 
System Configuration Directories tab.

3

The CommMgr recognizes the ContentType as Application/Import 
and initiates the import of this file.

4

The CommMgr stores the external data reference in the ExtData_tb 
and then builds the unattended processing session file (with the new 
GDW_MBImport command) to import the data into Gentran:Server.

5

After the session file is created, unattended processing creates the 
IPC file and writes the external data information that the Translator 
needs to perform an import.

6

The Translator runs the import map stores tracking information in the 
ExtDataXref_tb.
