Repository.XFRACAS.ImportXFRACASXML

Imports an XML byte array into a desired XFRACAS entity. Returns an Integer that represents the system ID of the byte array.

You must have admin privileges in the XFRACAS entity in order to import data into it. In addition, the XML file must be in XFRACAS format in order to be successfully imported. The XFRACAS9/10 Import Business Logic (PDF) document provides a complete description of the format.

Once the XML file has been uploaded for processing, use the ProcessXfracasImports method to process the XML file.
