Load Templates Overview

The load template defines how to load metadata from metadata source files into a custom resource. The load template consists of mapping rules that map the metadata in the metadata source files to model components, like classes, class attributes, associations, and lineage associations. You can use one load template for multiple resources of the same model.
You can use mmcmd to generate a default load template. The default load template contains all the mapping rules required to load all attributes of the top-level classes. For all child classes, the default load template contains parent-child associations.
When you generate the default load template, you also generate an empty metadata source file for each class in the model. The metadata source files contain column headers that are referenced in the default load template.
After you generate the default load template and metadata source files, you must populate the metadata source files with the custom metadata. In addition, you can configure mapping rules in the default load template based on the column headings in the metadata source file.
