•Export utility that produces an export file of user data
If you are updating files that are generated with the export utility, insert the files in descending order based on the _MgrLevel# suffix, where # is 1 through 20. Insert the file with the _user suffix last to ensure that the user record for a manager exists prior to use of the User ID for a manager in the Manager User ID field.
