In Oracle Planning 2024, importing data from a file and saving the operation as a job involves specific steps and options. The two true statements about Import Data jobs are:
A. Reference a data file stored locally when creating the Import Data job: Incorrect. Oracle EPM Cloud does not allow referencing files stored locally on a user’s machine for Import Data jobs. Files must be uploaded to the cloud environment (e.g., Inbox) for processing.
B. Select the option to clear data before import: Correct. When configuring an Import Data job, you can choose to clear existing data in the target before importing new data. This option ensures a clean slate for the import, avoiding data duplication or overlap, and is a standard feature in the job setup.
C. Upload your data file to the Inbox before running the Import Data job: Correct. Oracle requires that data files be uploaded to the Inbox (or another cloud storage location like the Outbox) before scheduling or running an Import Data job. The job then references this uploaded file for execution.
D. Include the path for the data file stored on the server: Incorrect. While you specify a file name in the job definition, you do not manually include a server path. The system automatically manages file locations within the cloud environment (e.g., Inbox), and users select files from there, not via explicit server paths.
The documentation confirms that uploading the file to the Inbox and optionally clearing data are key aspects of setting up an Import Data job, making B and C the true statements.
