Load data into data mart
The load management process in Sterling Business Intelligence is illustrated here:

- Back up the OLTP source database before you go live (typically two weeks earlier) with Sterling Business Intelligence.
- Initial data load from the backup database to the Data mart Database
- Incremental data load from the Sterling Source Database to the Data mart Database
Note: Sterling Business Intelligence does not provide a
staging database, however, if you have deployed a multischema or sharded environment, it is
recommended that you create a staging database to consolidate the data.
