General Information
Requirements for APM Connect Data Loaders
All APM Connect Data Loaders have the same mapping and security settings requirements.
Important: To achieve best performance in the ingestion process, APM Connect recommends ingestion of maximum file size to be 10 MB. However, there are circumstances that may require larger files for ingestion. For such use cases, APM Connect allows file sizes up to 30 MB. If the file size exceeds 30 MB, an error message appears indicating that maximum file size has reached, and the file is not processed. Additionally, there will be a check for file sizes in uncompressed state to ensure that file size does not to exceed 100 MB.
Note: File size, and data model complexity are two variables of data ingestion performance. Ingesting smaller files and lower complexity data models will assist in improving the performance.
Security Settings
The Security User performing the data load operation must be associated with either the MI Data Loader User or MI Data Loader Admin Security Role.
Mapping
The Data Loaders map the datasheet columns in the Excel workbook to fields in APM families by field ID. The captions may be changed as needed, but do not change the field IDs.
