Creating a load process

BIRT Analytics Loader supports creating data load transactions, setting load process options, and running a set of transactions as a process. To create a load process, first create the transactions that load data. Then, set options that run the load process.

About transactions

A transaction includes all settings and data mappings required to load data into a single table. A load process executes multiple transactions. You must save any change that you make to a load process before executing the process. To save any change to a process, choose Save on the menu bar.

BIRT Analytics Options, for defining a process and tools for creating transactions, looks like the example shown in Figure 3-19.

Setting load process options

Use Options, shown in Figure 3-20, to select options that define a load process. Displayed settings that you save for each process execute when the process runs, as part of a data load project.
