Saving and Reusing Data Load Options

If you perform data loads and dimension builds through Administration Services, and you use the same data source files and rules files each time, you can save the source and rules file options specified in the Data Load dialog box and reuse them later.

By default, the file options are saved in the ARBORPATH directory on the client in an XML file that you name. To use a file of saved options, you can open the file. The saved files and their options are added to the list in the currently open Data Load dialog box.

Tip:

You can use the data load options file as a template; after opening a data load options file, you can modify any specifications.
