Loading Metadata

Only files with the Oracle Data Relationship Management XML format can be loaded into a Data Relationship Management application. A log file is created after a load is performed and displays the following severities of data: audit, information, warning, and error message.

Note:

Before loading a metadata file, it is recommended that you perform an extract of existing metadata in case you want to revert back to the previous configuration. It is also a good idea to perform a database backup before loading metadata, particularly if you are loading a migration file into a production environment.

To load metadata from an XML file into a Data Relationship Management application:

1. On the Main Menu, click Load.
2. Click Browse, select the XML file that you want to load, and click Upload.

   Note:

   Migration files must be UTF-8 encoded.

3. Review the uploaded file information and click Next.
4. Enter Data Relationship Management connection information and click Log In.
5. Select the object types or objects to load and click Next.

   Note:

   Click the plus sign in the hierarchy tree to see objects. Select the checkbox for an object type to select the object type and all of its objects, or select the checkbox for the objects that you want to load. Click on an object name to display the object type definition in a new window.

6. Review the summary information and click Next.

   Note:

   Page size allows you to define the number of object types to view on a page.

7. Optional: Select Continue Load After Error for the load to continue even if errors are encountered.
8. Click Run Load.
9. Review the load results.

   You can change the view of the log file by selecting the severity of detail to display: audit, information, warning, and error. To save the log file, click Download.

   Note:

   The log items can be sorted by any column using the column header links.
