To view the results of the import, retrieve the import job entity instance by using the importjob.importjobid property that you supplied in the import request as a key. The following example shows how to retrieve the import job entity instance and the content of the importjob.data property.

Example

[C#]
// Retrieve the results of the import.
// Be aware that using AllColumns may adversely affect
// performance and cause unwanted cascading in subsequent 
// updates. A best practice is to retrieve the least amount of 
// data required.
importjob job = (importjob)service.Retrieve(EntityName.importjob.ToString(), request.ImportJobId, new AllColumns());
XmlDocument data = new XmlDocument();
data.LoadXml(job.data);

// See whether the result of the first entity was successful.
XmlNode node = data.SelectSingleNode("importexportxml/entities/entity/@result");
if (node.Value != "success")
{
    success = false;
}
