Integrating data with the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Data Load Manager
You can import data from an external system into your IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities database with the Data Load Manager. The data load process includes configuring and loading multiple business objects sequentially, providing a mechanism to monitor the data load progress, and identifying errors.
The following figure illustrates how you can use the Data Load Manager to define the interactions between the data load sets, data load items, integration objects, and DataConnect jobs. You can also generate a spreadsheet that is customized for data load sets. By using the spreadsheet, you can organize and validate your external data before you load it into Maximo Real Estate and Facilities.

Note: The
Maximo Real Estate and
Facilities Data Load Manager supports only integration
objects that are defined with the File to DC (DataConnect) scheme. The
functions of creating and uploading data load spreadsheets and adding new data load items are
designed specifically for integration objects that are defined with the File to
DC scheme. These functions do not work for integration objects that are defined with
other schemes. Any other functionality is only tested by using integration objects with the
File to DC scheme and might not work with integration objects that are
defined with other schemes.
