Defining Load Plans



Follow this procedure to define a load plan.
To define a load plan:
1)   In the Tasks pane of Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager, select Manage Load Plans, which appears under the Load Plans Administration heading.
The Manage Load Plans page is displayed.
 
2)   In the Load Plans toolbar, click the Add icon.
The Create Load Plan page is displayed.
3)   On the first page of the Create Load Plan series, specify the following information:
Field
Description
Name
Enter a unique name for the load plan.
Description
(Optional) Enter additional information about the load plan.
Load Plan Type
Select a load plan type. Possible values are the following:
o   Source Extract (SDE) - Includes only those tasks that extract from the source and loads data into staging tables.
o   Source Extract and Load (SDE, SIL and PLP) - Includes all tasks to extract from the source and load the data warehouse tables.
o   Warehouse Load (SIL and PLP) - Includes only those tasks that extract from the staging tables and load the data warehouse tables.
Note that it may be useful to generate separate source-specific and data warehouse-specific load plans. By decoupling the load plans, this allows scheduling a source-specific load plan to run during hours when most users are not using the source system and scheduling a separate load of the data warehouse when most users are not using the data warehouse.
o   Domain-only Extract and Load (SDE and SIL) - Includes all tasks required to extract domain-related records from the source and load the data into the domain-related tables in the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse. Note that domains are used extensively in Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager and several properties must be configured before executing a regular load plan. These properties depend on the domain values found in the transactional database.
Source Instances
Select the data sources from which the fact groups will be selected.
4)    
5)   Click Next.
The second page of the Create Load Plan series is displayed.
6)   In the Available Fact Groups tab, select the fact groups you want to include in the load plan definition.
Note that fact groups may belong to a hierarchy of fact groups. You can select only the top level parent fact group and not a child fact group.
A load plan must contain at least one fact group, and multiple fact groups may be selected from one or more data sources.
7)   Click Save. A submenu is displayed with the following options
o   Click Save to save the load plan. After a load plan is saved, it is displayed in the Load Plans master list.
Click Save and Generate Load Plan to save the load plan and immediately generate it
