I’ve done similar things using a staging form and an escalation.  Create the 
staging form as either a regular form (and import the CSV file to it) or a view 
form whose source is a database table containing the data.  Then create an 
escalation that runs (once) on the staging form and applies the changes.
That should work as long as the associated workflow is in filters, and doesn’t 
contain an exception for AR_ESCALATOR.

Subject: [E] Change Cancellations via import?

All,

We have a large number of open changes, at various stages from draft through to 
scheduled for approval from years gone by.  I'm hoping to cancel them via a 
"simple" AR Import.  CSV file with the change ID, and then map the various 
fields.

For the change request itself, this seems to work fine.  But open approvals 
against them - they don't get touched.

But I am getting nowhere with doing a similar import against either 
CHG:ChangeAPDetailSignature (which seems to do nothing) or against AP:Signature 
(where you have to use zTmpAppRequest to match the CRQ reference - but the 
import fails).

Has anyone done such an "automation" before?  Any suggestions/pointers?

Regards

Dave Barber
