Loading incremental data from files

You can load incremental data into IBM® Analytics Solutions Manager on Cloud by using comma-separated values (.csv) files.

Your Information Technology department can collect incremental data by querying your asset management data source. The data must be arranged according to comma-separated values (.csv) template files that are available from Analytics Solutions Manager on Cloud. To download the templates for a project, on the Load Data tab, hover over each data load tile and click Download Template.
  1. On the Load Data tab, turn on Auto-Calculate.
    Auto-Calculate switch
  2. Drag a comma-separated values (.csv) file onto its corresponding data load tile.

    A preview appears, showing the first 10 rows of the data that is being uploaded, for your verification.

    Tip: If the preview data is not correct, under Current Data, click Clear to erase the data from the database. Open the comma-separated values (.csv) file and verify that the information is correctly mapped to the template columns and that the data types are correct. Upload the file again.
  3. To load more data, click Back to Data Inputs to return to the Load Data tab.

    When a file upload is complete, the data load tile displays a check mark and information about the most recently uploaded file.

    When a file upload is still in progress, the data load tile displays a Processing status. You can continue uploading files to other data load tiles, but you must wait for the upload that is in progress to finish before you upload another file to the same tile.

    Tip: Refresh your browser to check the current upload status.
