I have been given an excel file by a client with upwards of 500 user records
that was exported from another system.  We need to create a farcry user for
each record for access to a bulletin board and member's only section.  I am
going to create a script to read the file and insert the data but I wanted
to check with other developers before doing so to make sure I'm on the right
track.  I included 2 attachments (members1.xls) which is the file I was
given from the client.  All records were removed for privacy reasons but the
fields are there so you can see what I'm working with.  The other file is
farcry_user_import.xls which describes the 3 tables that I will be inserting
data into.  In the 2nd file, anything inside of a < > indicates data that
will be coming from the members excel file.  Anything else will either be
left out if the field allows null values or will be inserted expressly.

 

I already have a group and group policy set up for this called Site Members
which is a copy of Anonymous.  This allows me to set branch specific
permissions in the site tree without granting webtop access.

 

The three tables I'm looking at inserting data into are dmUser,
dmUserToGroup and dmProfile.  

 

If anyone can take a look at this and let me know if I'm the right track I'd
really appreciate it.  Also, if anyone has had to do this in the past and
has any ideas that might help, I'd appreciate that as well.  

 

For reference my environment is the following:

 

IIS, FC 3.0.2, MSSQL 2000 and CF 7.0.2

 

Thank you in advance!
