Uploading a data load spreadsheet

You can integrate data into IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities by uploading a spreadsheet of data that is customized for a data load set.

About this task

The upload process takes each data sheet in the spreadsheet, generates the necessary tab-delimited text file, and attaches the text file to the Data File field in the corresponding data load item. When the tab-delimited text file is generated, the supplementary blue columns in the spreadsheet are omitted and the records that have their MARK_TO_IGNORE_FOR_UPLOAD column marked are also omitted.

Procedure

  1. Go to Tools > System Setup > Integration > Data Load Manager > Data Load Sets.
  2. Open the data load set record that you want to upload spreadsheet data to.
  3. In the Upload Data Load Spreadsheet section of the form, attach the spreadsheet to the Spreadsheet File field and click Upload.
