Hi,
You might try to use RRR|Chive to import your ARX data. It keeps the Request
ID intact as a default setting.
source_arx = yourfile.arx
target_server = server
target_user = Demo
target_password = PROMPT
target_disablemergefltr = YES
multipleforms = *
splitsearch = YES
transfertype = SYNCTOTARGET
logfile = AUTO
progressbar = YES
The SYNCTOTARGET setting will delete/overwrite any records that does not math
the combination of Request ID + Modify Date.
Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se
