Job Log Additional Considerations

Note that a selected load method also impacts the performance during the last step of the process when the data is loaded. The "Numeric Data Only" option loads directly to Oracle Essbase and bypasses all validation and security checks and is the quickest way to load data when using Planning.

If users select "All Data Types with Security", this uses the Outline Load Utility (OLU), or importDataSlice API, depending on the user role. The OLU is used when the user is an administrator, and the "Validate Data for Admin " setting is set to "No." The importDataSlice API is used for non-administrator users, or when an administrator is loading, and the "Validate Data for Admin" is set to "Yes." The importDataSlice API performs a complete check of data, and honors all validations and security settings, and is the slowest method.
