Data import

In addition to the XML output file in PPM system event format, a file in process instance-independent measure format or in dimension data format can also be output and imported into a PPM system. Only the import of the XML output files in PPM system event format is dealt with here.

Each system event in the XML output file generated is assigned a fragment definition when imported and is instantiated in the PPM database. The source system attributes specified in the mapping are copied to the objects in this fragment instance. The fragment instances are then saved in the PPM database.

In a further work step, the fragment instances imported into the database are compiled into process instances using the runppmimport PPM command and assigned to process types. After measure calculation, the process instances are available for detailed analyses.
