Hello….

I am having some struggles with this Import Agent .lst file.  Human Resources has a document for each employee and wants each document placed in the employee’s folder. 

The path is \HR EE Active Employee\ Newman Alfred E 0123\Employee File\Appointment Letter\****

(**** will be the fiscal year....see below in IA Import directive)

LASERFICHE IMPORT LIST

VOLUME(DEFAULT)

FOLDERS(HR EE Active Employee)   <<<<< This is a record Series folder.

FOLDERS(Newman Alfred E 0123)    <<<<< The employee folder

FOLDERS(Employee File)

FOLDERS(Appointment Letter)

FOLDERS(2014)   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ****  Fiscal Year folder to be created by Import Agent

DOCUMENT(Newman Alfred E 0123 IRS Letter)

STARTLIST

909090909_Letters.tif

ENDLIST

In this scenario, the folder     2014   is the only folder that IA has to create.

Here’s the problem….instead of using the existing employee folder structure, Import Agent builds the following structure and places the document in

\HR EE Active Employee (2)\ Newman Alfred E 0123\Employee File\Appointment Letter\2014

HR EE Active Employee (2)         

            +Newman Alfred E 0123

                        +Employee File

                                    +Appointment Letter

                                                2014

Of course, the newly created HR EE Active Employee (2) is not a Record Series folder.  This behavior is contrary to my experience with Import Agent.

This is my first attempt to use Import Agent with a Record Series folder….I've searched the forum and looked at a wad of help files/tech papers trying to find a possible reason for this behavior.  I have not found any documentation that says that IA cannot work with Record Series folders or that special considerations must be made for RS folders...(so I’m guessing it’s okay).

LF Server v9.0.2 build 671 and LF Import Agent v8.1.1.357

The service account used by Import Agent is in the HR-Admin group with full rights.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
