Loading External Data into OFS CCA CS

The OFS CCA CS Application uses the following categories of data:

  • Account or Instrument
  • Dimensions and Hierarchies
  • Market data like Currency Exchange Rate

OFS CCA CS uses Oracle’s Object Store Service to transfer data between your machine/laptop and its databases. Object Storage Service allows storing the files as objects in a highly secure, scalable, and durable way. Files can be uploaded through a Web Console; however, it is possible to do so only with files up to 1 GB.

Uploaded Data Files are temporarily stored in the Object Storage for OFS CCA CS Data Loaders to read and move them to the corresponding Database Tables for further use by the individual services.

Before the files can be created and uploaded, format, column order, and other properties must be defined using Data File Specifications User Interface. This chapter discusses the supported formats and contents of the data file that is being imported into the Object Storage.

For information on uploading files, see the File Upload and Download section. For information on running the Data Loaders, see the Data Loaders section.
