will not process the file.

| WARNING: Real Time Update |
| Before test running an ongoing import be sure to back up
the database. |
To process an ongoing import:
- Use the blueprint xml file.
- Place the xml file in the integration/import/blueprints.in folder.
- The application looks for a new file on a periodic basis
and will begin to process the file.
- Check the <installation directory>/integration/import/blueprints.processed folder
for successful imports and /blueprints.skipped folder for
skipped imports. The Blueprints Activity Log is available on the
Planning board.
Data from the xml file is imported into the application.
