Error Handling

If there is an error in the run, a message displays and you can refer to the resultant document to help correct the error in the import file or Web service definition.

Be aware that part of the run may have been completed so, especially in case of creating clients or matters, check for items that have already been created otherwise you could end up with duplications if you just re-run the Web service.
