Running a load process You start a load process by using a project in BIRT Analytics Loader. Before running a project, you must create the data source connections and define the loading transactions and the data transformation scripts. To make the loaded data available to the BIRT Analytics users, you must synchronize the loaded database with the active database and grant access privileges to database users. After defining the table mappings and all transactions in a load process, you can run the project to load the data. You can run a single or multiple transaction processes. You can run a process with or without data transformation. The load process loads the data in the FastDB database, the same database that users analyze. To avoid inaccurate analysis, consider loading data when users are not logged in to the system. To prevent user access to databases while a load process runs, stop the web server running the BIRT Analytics application. Alternatively, schedule the loading process to run at a time when users are offline. For more information on how to schedule a load process, check Administering BIRT Loader.
