common information model (CIM)
QAD's CIM Interface provides a convenient means to transfer data and integrate legacy or otherwise incompatible data with MFG/PRO data.
Unlike direct data loads, CIM checks load data for errors and saves unloaded records in an error file for correction and reloading. CIM loads can be run in either batch or continuous mode.
The CIM interface loads data through online maintenance programs. All data validation used in these programs during normal data entry is available during a CIM load. Imported data is then made available to other programs.
The CIM Interface offers the ability to enter data through the user interface, giving us access to data integrity checking that already exists in the system. Some tables can be loaded through the CIM interface. Some can be loaded directly and quickly into database. All tables should be loaded into a temporary database for just this purpose.
Such as 36.25.10 - special program that allows mass deletion of items.
There also is an alternate program for loading item standard costs
If you need to support CIM functionality
then take a look at

CIM is just a keyboard entry simulation. If you are thinking about concurrent CIM, you should think about multiple CIM processor are running at the same time. It like multiple user login in the same time.
