7 Loading, Extracting, and Clearing Data

This topic describes how to load, extract, or clear data:

  • Load data – prepare a delimited flat file to load data into a model in your application

  • Extract data – backs up all or part of your data that’s already in your application

  • Clear data - removes all or part of the data in your application.

These three options work together as part of the data validation process. As a best practice, always extract your data as a backup before clearing data and reloading.

You can load or extract data either through the user interface or by using the EPM Automate Commands. To use the EPM Automate Commands, see EPM Automate Commands
