Load initial data
IBM® Predictive Solutions Foundation on Cloud analyzes your initial historical data to identify warranty issues. To begin, you need to load initial data to analyze. IBM Analytics Solutions Manager on Cloud shows you what data to provide. Types of data include master data and event data.
Master data includes information such as the type of equipment that is being monitored and its location.
Event data includes observation values about an event. Events can be periodic (such as manual equipment inspections) or ongoing (such as real-time device measurements).
Some data is required and other data is optional, as indicated by the data load tiles on the Load Data tab. The more information that you provide, typically the more accurate the predictions that are made by Analytics Solutions Manager on Cloud.
Initial data is uploaded from comma-separated values (.csv) files.
