Class Import Converter Overview

Use the Class Import Converter to convert the data from a CSV format into the Destiny XML format, and upload by completing the following steps:

1. Export class schedule data from your SIS to a CSV text file. Make this text file available to Destiny by copying it to a working folder on your Destiny application server.
2. Customize the Converter by editing its properties file. Map the fields in your CSV file to those in Destiny; and set up default values for those fields not in your CSV file.
3. Using the Class Import Converter, convert the class schedule data from the CSV format to the XML format that Destiny can interpret and upload. Run the Class Import Converter process either manually through a command prompt or automatically as a Windows Scheduled Task.
4. Upload the resulting XML file into Destiny either manually – from a command prompt or in the Admin of Destiny – or automatically as a Windows Scheduled Task.
