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.

About this task

Note: If your database is converted to enable Module Level Associations (MLA), the Reverse Association flag in queries and reports is ignored and only forward associations are allowed in reports and queries. For more information, see "Converting IBS_SPEC_ASSIGNMENTS to Module Level Associations" in the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform Installation and Implementation Guide.
