Understanding the Integration Interface Wizard

Understanding the Integration Interface Wizard

Within the Integration Interface Wizard, you create integration interfaces. An integration
interface consists of at least one of the following:

A data profile that specifies how to import a Demantra series, at the aggregation levels
that you choose.

A level profile that specifies how to import promotions and their attributes.

Once you have created an Integration Interface, you execute it to import data. You can run
automatically an integration interface by incorporating it in a workflow controlled by the
Workflow Manager. You also create a workflow that automatically runs an integration interface.

Understanding the Import File Tool

Understanding the Import File Tool

The Import File tool is used to import supplementary data from text files to the Demantra model.
Within the Import File tool you create an import interface. An integration interface consists of
one or more profiles. Each profile corresponds to one table; note that multiple files can be loaded
into a single table.
The Import File tool is accessed from the Business Modeler.
