Automating Data Upload to IBM Envizi ESG via API or Web Upload 1

Answer

To automate Envizi data uploads, you can use the web upload feature programmatically. Files are checked against system pipeline filename patterns for account data, meter data, and attachments. For custom data pipelines, create a pipeline to process files if using a connector to transform and load data. Files failing to match system or custom pipeline patterns are processed as account data. The default size limit for loading data files and attachments is 50 MB; for large files, split them into smaller files for faster processing and easier troubleshooting. Steps to provision a data pipeline include:
1. Create custom data pipelines for specific connectors, API integrations, or special handling.
2. Configure pipelines for loading files from Amazon S3, Amazon SFTP, or mailboxes, with or without transformation.
3. Configure pipelines for exporting monthly dataset data to Amazon S3 or Amazon SFTP.
4. View Planning Analytics pipeline configuration from the Data Pipelines grid.
