Source Data Systems

To load data into Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub from an external system, you must use an adapter. A defined object called a Load Set is also required.

When a Definer creates a Load Set, the only Load Set types available to him or her are those that correspond to the particular adapters to which the Definer has security access. The system uses Parameters and Programs predefined as part of the adapter to create the Load Set. For all source data adapters except Text, Oracle LSH pulls table or data set metadata from the external system to create target Tables in Oracle LSH.

When a user runs the Load Set, the adapter handles the interaction between the two systems, including the actual loading of data.
