About Configuring Data Integration

Consider the following before attempting to import data:

You must have access permissions for the file you are attempting to import and for the location you are attempting to import the file from. For example, if the file is located on a shared network folder or on an FTP site, make sure that you have permission to access the shared folder or the FTP site. (File share is only available for on-premise deployments.)

You must know the business object names and object fields in Service Manager.

1.From the Configuration Console, click Extend > Integration Tools to open the Integration Tools workspace. The Integration Tools page appears. (If the Data Import Connections page appears, click Integration Tools from the top breadcrumbs to go to the correct page.)
