pSegmentPlanning: Object below which the imported data are to be inserted. If null then data are inserted under project.
bIgnoreErrors: If true the import will not be aborted because of errors and messages that occur.
bOverwrite: If true then existing planning objects will be overwritten with the data from the planning objects of the same name from the import file. If false then existing planning objects remain unchanged.
bUpdateOnly: If true then only data of existing structure segments and planning objects will be updated.

Return Value

Returns true if import is successful.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Null was set to `pProject` parameter.
System.ArgumentException	Thrown when `strFileName` or `strScheme`of `null` or `empty`.

Remarks

Import can be done from excel or text file. If import is done from excel file then additional parameter is interpreted as name of table or data area contained in the data source. In case when import is done from text file then additional parameter is treated to determine the separator that is used in the text file in order to separate the columns.
