We attach the description resource values to the descriptions, therefore we will not change anything in the description but will attach data. In import step Attachment at the right side select Description id (see below). 

Select the import step Merge from the list. For Description we select the Attach option because this tables shall not be changed, for the other step Insert should already be selected, because a new entry has to be inserted (see below).

Deselect every column from import step Description except “id”. Mark the “id” column as Key column for comparison during attachment and click on From file to select the column “ItemID” as data source. The “id” column of import step Description now looks as shown below.

Testing

To test if all requirements for the import are met use the Testing step. The test for the data line 717 is shown below.

 

Import

With the last step you can start to import the data into the database. If you want to repeat the import with the same settings and data of the same structure, you can save a schema of the current settings. There are 177 lines that were not imported due to duplicate entries (see below).

The failed lines are caused by duplicate entries, i.e. the resource was already imported for the description.
