During Load Set definition, a Load Set adapter may need to do the following:

  1. Receive information from the user on the location from which to upload or copy metadata structures; see Planning Parameters and Parameter Sets.

  2. Connect to the source data system.

  3. Upload columns or otherwise copy the metadata structure of the data to be loaded to one or more Oracle LSH Table Descriptors and their source Table definitions.

    For some adapters, such as the shipped Text Load Set adapter, this is not possible and the user must manually define the metadata structure (Table Descriptor).
