Loading Target Groups

---

Multiple Target Groups can be loaded into the Siebel database using the appropriate workflow process. The source file for Analytic Adapters should not contain quotation marks, and the file should have a fixed format with tab-delimited data in each row tab.

NOTE:  Target Groups created in Siebel Analytics are automatically loaded into the Siebel database. For information, see About Visual Segmentation.

To load target groups

From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Business Process Administration > Workflow Processes.
In the Workflow Processes list, select the Analytic Adapters workflow process created for the target group.
Click the Process Simulator view tab.

For details, see Creating Analytic Adapter Workflow Process for Other Analytic Tools.

In the Simulator designer, click Start.
In the Process Simulator list, click the select button in the Process Property Name field.
In the list of properties, modify the default values for properties such as TargetGroupName, ReportFileName, and so on.
Save the changes and click Close to close the properties list.
In the Simulator designer, click Continue.

In the Process Simulator list, the status of Completed in the Process Status field indicates that a request to the server to load the target group has been submitted.

An existing target group is overwritten if a new target group with the same name is loaded. The target group record is written to the Analytic Adapter lookup table (S_DD_TRGT_GRP table) when the server component starts the load process.

The first column of a target group (Key_01) cannot have a null value because a not-null database index exists on the Key_01 column.
