Importing Data

After you import dimensions, you can populate data by importing data files.

Note:

When importing data, no validation is performed on intersections to determine which are valid, and data is loaded to all intersections. To review data that has been loaded into invalid intersections, run the Invalid Intersection report before importing data to see and clear invalid intersections. See Creating an Invalid Intersection Report.

To import data, you must be a Service Administrator or Power User.

You can load data using a text file with sections that map the file data to dimensions. When you load multiple data files, they are loaded in sequential order.

Note:

You should not run reports, books, or batches while data is being loaded.

To import data, perform these tasks:

• Create an import file for each artifact that you want to import. See Creating the Data Import File.

• Load the import file or files (you can import multiple dimension files at the same time). See Loading the Data Import File.
