I am trying to build an import scenario where the import file is a .txt file that is pipe-delimited with no header row.

I have build a data provider using a .CSV provider type with a filename with a .txt extension and a default delimiter of |.  Note that I used a .CSV file first to populate the schema fields - I have used this method successfully to create a .txt export scenario / file so I expect it should work for import.

I have created an import scenario but when I upload a file and try to prepare the import, I get no data found and an error saying Sequence Contains no Elements.

Has anybody managed to build an import scenario like this?  I am constrained by the ability of the source system in terms of the file format.

Once I have got past this hurdle, I still have to figure out how to update a Shipment with both lot and package data - but that may be for another post.

Thanks in Advance...   John

I think lack of header record is your issue - it's required AFAIK. 

You can add a header record with a command script and possibly replace the pipes with commas if needed. Do this before running the import.
