Deploy the Automatic Data Loader Job

1. Access the APM Connect Administration Center.
2. In the Menu pane, in the Conductor section, select Job Conductor.
3. In the Job Conductor toolbar, select Add.

   The Execution task pane is enabled.

4. In the Execution task pane, in the Label box, enter a label for the job.
5. In the Description box, enter a description for the job.
6. Select the Active check box.
7. In the Job section, select .

   The Import generated code window appears.

8. Select Browse..., and then navigate to the folder containing the updated jobs package.
9. Select the job dinokeeper.zip, and then select Launch upload.

   The job is imported into the Job Conductor.

10. Configure the context file to identify the location of the load directory, the archive directory, and the log file.
11. Modify the <Context_File_PATH> value in the job conductor context parameters to point to the context file for the job.
12. Optional: If needed, edit the file AutomaticDataLoaderOrder.csv to change the directory processing order.
13. Run the job.

1. Navigate to the following folder: C:\APMConnect\Config\<system>
2. Modify the file ContextFile.xml to indicate the values for your system.

   Parameter	Description	Default or recommended value
   CONFIG_FILE_PATH	The path to the context file used for extraction.	Enter your unique value (for example, C:\APMConnect\Config\ContextFile.xml).
   SCAN_DIR	The directory that contains the directories from which the job retrieves workbooks to load data.	Enter your unique value (for example, C:\APMConnect\Dinokeeper). Important: Because this job runs with administrative authority, you must control user access to this directory.
   ARCHIVE_DIR	The directory that the facility uses to archive workbooks.	Enter your unique value (for example, C:\APMConnect\Archives).
   LOG_BASE_DIR	The path that the facility uses to store the generated log files.	Enter your unique value (for example, C:\APMConnect\Log).
   LOG4J_CONFIG_FILE	The path to the log4j configuration file.	Enter your unique value (for example, C:\APMConnect\Config\log4j.properties). Note: This can be the same log4j configuration file that you use for your Adapters. If you want to use log4j settings that are different from the EAM job, then you must configure the context file with different log4j properties.

The default Automatic Data Loader directory processing order may not meet your requirements. Use this procedure to change the processing order.

1. Determine the directories you need and the order in which you need those directories processed.
2. Navigate to the AutomaticDataLoaderOrder.csv file.
   During deployment, the file is created in the directory defined in the SCAN_DIR parameter in the Automatic Data Loader context file.
3. Using a text editor, edit the file AutomaticDataLoaderOrder.csv to achieve one of the following outcomes:

   Desired outcome	How to edit the file
   Remove directory from processing.	Delete the directory row from the file. Update the order number of the remaining directories.
   Change the processing order of the directories.	Change the order number in the file.

   Important: Do not remove the first row from the file.
   The default content of the file AutomaticDataLoaderOrder.csv is as follows.

   Order,LoaderID
   1,ManageTaxonomy
   2,ManageEquipmentAndFunctionalLocation
   3,AssetIngestionLoader
   4,Custom Asset Hierarchy Loader

Use the Automatic Data Loader job to manually or programmatically load asset data to GE Digital APM.

1. Identify the directory that corresponds to the data loader you are using.
2. Move the data loader files (either a correctly formatted Excel workbook or a .zip file that contains correctly formatted .csv files) into the identified directory.
