Data File Loading Tasks

The following tasks must occur when loading a data file:

• Preload any new dimension values for dimension tables.
• Run the preprocessor for each file you are loading.

This approach enables bill files in different languages to be stored with the correct business key value, allowing for data to be aggregated at a later time.

NOTE:  Files must be Unicode compliant so that Oracle Self-Service E-Billing can process data in multiple languages.
