The Transfer application begins the process of migrating data from a DataReader to a DataWriter.

Transfer is responsible for loading configuration data, instantiating objects, and executing and monitoring the data import process.

The following is included in the Centric CRM build.xml file, which can be altered and used for importing Account Contacts and related data...

  <!-- Account Contact Importer based on CSV spec -->
