Adding File-Based Data Load Definitions

Source systems with the type "file" are used in import formats to load data from fixed and delimited files.

Data Management creates a file-based data load system automatically. If you create an alternate file-based data load source system, follow the procedure below.

To use file-based import formats, you must define a file-based data load.

To add a file-based data load definition:

1. On the Setup tab, under Register, select Source System.
2. In Source System, click Add.
3. Enter the source system details:
   1. In Source System Name, enter the file-based data load system name.
   2. In Source System Description, enter a description.
   3. In Source System Type, select File.
   4. In Drill Through URL, specify the URL that identifies the URL to use for drilling through.

      For more information about a file-based drill through, see Using Drilling Through.

   5. In ODI Context Code, enter the context code.

      The ODI context code refers to the context defined in Oracle Data Integrator. A context groups the source and target connection information.

4. Click Save.

   After you add a file-based data load system, select the source system in the table. The details of the system are displayed in the lower pane.
