Hi.
I am concerned about background processing when importing data.
At the time of import, a comment about the process being executed is displayed in the window, but the following two processes are taking a long time.
・Evaluating
・Waiting for "server name"
What kind of processing is being performed when the above two are displayed?
I would like to use it as a reference when explaining to users, so if anyone knows it, I would appreciate it if you could be a professor.
Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Not very clear.
Import will pull in the data from the data sources that you have connected to .
Please refer if this pdf could help:
