Bulk load of multiple data sets
Triggering the load of many data sets at the same time can be done from the Bulk Load Data
link on the Linkage Project page, below the list of Event Types.
The bulk load of data can only be used for linkages! Other types of data must be loaded one at a time.
You are presented with a form where you will need to choose:
- whether to combine all of the data sources into a single linkage
- the name of Envelope(s) to put the linkage(s) in
- one or more data sources to load data from
If you select the Combine For Linkage
option, only one Envelope will be created; all data sources selected will be loaded first, before the matching and grouping of the data will occur.
If you don't select this option, the Envelope Name will have the Event Type and Data Source code appended to the end of it.
The Combine For Linkage option is great for small, periodic and incremental loads of data.
Clicking on the Load
button will queue the data source loads immediately!
