Before you can use a sample application, you must load data into it.
Note: | Before loading data into the Partitioning sample databases, first create a partition user or other user name. See Creating the Partition User. |
To load data into a sample database:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, navigate to the appropriate Essbase Server, application, and database.
For Data Source Type, select Data file.
For Mode, choose one of the following options:
Load only: Performs a data load.
Build only: Performs a dimension build.
Both: Performs both a data load and a dimension build.
For Data Source, click Find Data File. In the Essbase Server tab, navigate to the correct data source. For Files of Type, ensure that Data files (*.txt) is selected.
For Rules File, if the data source requires a rules file, click Find Rule File. In the Essbase Server tab, navigate to the rule file. For Files of Type, ensure that Rules file (*.rul) is selected.
When the data load is completed, a dialog box appears with information about the files that loaded and whether there were errors.
