Importing Analytic Instance Data

After the customer packages the analytic instance and sends it to PeopleSoft user support, user support must import that data to diagnose the customer issue.

Use the Create Analytic Instance page (PTACECRTINST) to create an analytic instance.

To import an analytic instance:

  1. Unzip the packaged analytic instance into the directory of your choice—for example, c:\TEMP.

  2. Read the importDirections.txt file for explicit details about how to import this analytic instance.

  3. In PeopleSoft Application Designer, select Tools > Copy Project > From File.

  4. Search for the project named <analytic instance><timestamp>.

    This project, which is the result of the export functionality, should be located in the c:\TEMP\<analytic instance> directory. For example, if the analytic instance is named ACEINST, the directory would be named something like c:\TEMP\ACEINST_20041113_015912.

  5. Access the Create Analytic Instance page and create an analytic instance named <analytic instance>—for example, ACEINST.

    See Creating, Deleting, and Copying Analytic Instances.

  6. Access the Analytic Instance Load/Unload page and perform these steps:

    See Loading and Unloading Analytic Instances.

    1. Select the name of the directory you just created.

    2. Select the Import From File check box.

    3. Enter the import directory name in the File Directory text box.

    4. Click the Load Analytic Instance button.
