Working with the Outline Load Utility

The Outline Load utility can be used to load metadata and data for Account, Period, Year, Scenario, Version, Currency, Entity, user-defined dimensions, attributes, UDAs, exchange rates, Smart Lists, and planning unit hierarchies.

Use these general steps to load information with the Outline Load utility:

  1. When loading data, set the DIRECT_DATA_LOAD and DATA_LOAD_FILE_PATH system properties.

  2. Create a load file for each dimension or set of data that you want to load.

  3. Test the load files, and then run the utility.
