The import definition specifies information needed so the target Datareplicator can execute import processing. You can omit the import definition if you do not use any of the following facilities and data import is to be between tables with exactly the same format:

• Table-based import facility that executes import processing in units of groups in parallel
• Import facility that uses a UOC routine to process data before importing it
• Time-ordered information collection facility that outputs update information to a time-ordered information table

The following table shows the values that Datareplicator assumes when the import definition is omitted.

Table 5-15 Values that Datareplicator assumes when the import definition is omitted

If a component name and a redefined item name in the RESTRUCT extraction redefinition statement are not unique within an extraction definition, you cannot omit the import definition because Datareplicator cannot define the import table corresponding to the redefined item name.
