Roadmap for loading data with Optim on distributed platforms

Use this roadmap to guide you through the load process with Optim™ on distributed platforms.

To load data:

  1. Create a load request
    Use the Load Request Editor to define parameters for processing the load request. These parameters include the source archive file and processing options. You must also include a table map, which can include a column map.
    • Create a table map

      Use a table map to specify correlating source and destination tables of compatible data. You can map tables that have different names, modify table names, exclude tables from a process, or include column maps for greater control over the data.

    • Create a column map

      Use a column map to define the specifications for mapping columns of compatible data between source and destination tables. You can map unlike-named columns, modify data, or exclude columns from a process. You can include one or more column maps in a table map.

  2. Run the load process

    Use the Load Request Editor to run the load process. The load process transform the contents of an archive or extract file into a format that is appropriate for a particular DBMS loader and then, if desired, starts the corresponding database load utility.
