After you configure the metadata source and create a resource, you can load the resource. When you load a resource, Metadata Manager uses the connection information for the resource to extract the metadata from the metadata source. Metadata Manager converts the extracted metadata into IME-format files and runs PowerCenter workflows to load the metadata into the Metadata Manager warehouse.
Use the
Load
tab to perform the following resource tasks:
Load a resource.
Load the source metadata for a resource into the Metadata Manager warehouse. Metadata Manager extracts metadata, indexes the metadata, and creates links between objects in resources that have connection assignments or linking rules.
Link objects across resources.
If you modify connection assignments or linking rules after loading a resource, create links between objects in the resources.
Monitor a resource.
View load and link details to monitor the load and link processes and get summary and error information after a resource load.
Troubleshoot the resource load
Use the log files generated by Metadata Manager and the PowerCenter Workflow Monitor to troubleshoot resource loads.
Schedule subsequent resource loads.
Create a schedule to select the time and frequency that Metadata Manager loads a resource. You can attach the schedule to a resource.
