Integrating data with the TRIRIGA Data Integrator

You can import tab-delimited data from an external system into your IBM® TRIRIGA® business objects with the Data Integrator tool. You can also make mass updates of existing data with the Data Integrator tool.

  • Overview of the TRIRIGA Data Integrator process
    The IBM TRIRIGA Data Integrator tool is used to import data into your business objects without writing technical scripts. Record data can come from any source, such as a database, a Microsoft Excel file, or an external system. Regardless of the data source, Data Integrator accepts files only in tab-delimited format, in a .txt file.
  • Creating header files
    You can use Data Integrator to create a Header File for a non-hierarchical or hierarchical module.
  • Preparing associative uploads
    Importing data records with associations requires more work than hierarchical uploading. With the Associative Upload feature of Data Integrator, you can associate records to each other, such as linking people with organizations, assets with spaces, and assets with people. You can define this link between any two data records by specifying the association string.
  • Uploading data
    You can upload data into the IBM TRIRIGA application with Data Integrator one file at a time or in batch mode. The name of the file that is imported into Data Integrator must not exceed 50 characters.
