WebFOCUS Online Help > ReportCaster Development and Administration > Loading User IDs Into the ReportCaster Repository

There are certain cases where you will want to bulk load ReportCaster user IDs into the ReportCaster Repository from an external source. This can be accomplished by:

• Using the synchronize external users utility, which accepts an XML transaction file and applies those transactions to the ReportCaster Repository. This utility calls the ReportCaster API to apply validation checks against the transaction data.
• Writing SQL statements to add, update, and delete records from the ReportCaster Repository. This is not the recommended approach since SQL statements may load invalid data, causing ReportCaster processing to fail.
