To schedule a job to import MDF data for a specific object including its attachments, you will find two options available at provisioning (`MDF Data Import` and `MDF Data Import (FTP)`). Note that, in this case, the correct one is MDF Data Import (FTP). If you don't have a partner to assist on this process, please raise a ticket to SAP Support.

To schedule this job, you will need to provide the following information:

1. Job Owner
2. Job Parameters
3. FTP credentials and host address
4. SFTP file path and name
