Loading the Interface Tables

To load data into an interface table, use your database-software-specific load utility, such as one of the load utilities available for DB2. For information, read the documentation for your database software.

Make sure you load the required columns.

Some columns in the interface tables are part of a user key sequence. The user key sequence is the set of columns (called user key columns) whose values uniquely identify a row. As EIM loads each row, it checks whether the interface table already contains that row's user key sequence, thus preventing the import of duplicate rows.
