DAT-DATA-MART-NAME     Alpha 20  (Lower Case)                    IA10.1  IA13.1
Element: Data Mart NameThis field contains the name of the data  IASV.1
                       mart.

DAT-DATA-LOAD-NAME     Alpha 12  (Lower Case)                    IA10.1  IA13.1
Element: Data Source NaThe Data Source Name field contains the   IASV.1
                       unique name for the source containing
                       the data values you are loading. You can
                       define multiple data sources for a
                       single data mart. Examples of data
                       sources are programs or rules files.
                       This user-defined name can contain up to
                       12 characters of any kind.

DAT-DATA-PROGRAM       Alpha 6                                   IA10.1  IA13.1
Element: Data Load ProgThe Data Values Load program is the       IASV.1
                       program that the Analytic Architect
                       system calls to supply the data values
                       to the data mart. This may be the same
                       program as the Outline Build program.

DAT-DATA-FORMAT        Alpha 1                                   IA10.1  IA13.1
Element: Data Load FormThe Data Load Format field contains the   IASV.1
                       format of the data source.

                       Valid values are:
                       1 = Program load; Default value.
                       2 = Rules File load

DAT-DATA-PATH-NAME     Alpha 100  (Lower Case)                   IA10.1  IA13.1
Element: Data Source FiThe Data Source File field contains the   IASV.1
                       name of the data source file.

                       If a data load program has been
                       specified in the Data Load Program
                       field, the output of the data load
                       program is placed in the data source
                       file using the path specified in the CSV
                       Output Path field in IA100 (Data Mart
                       Type Load).

                       If a rules file is used, the source of
                       the data being loaded into the data mart
                       is the data source file. Both the rules
                       file and the data source file must be
                       placed in the $ARBORPATH/app/application
                       name/database path before using IA120
                       (Data Mart Load).

DAT-RULES-FILE         Alpha 100  (Lower Case)                   IA13.1
Element: Rules File    The Rules File field contains file name
                       of the rules file to be used by the data
                       mart. If a rules file is used, the data
                       source is the file specified in the Data
                       Source File field. The rules file is
                       responsible for loading the data source
                       file into the data mart. Both the rules
                       file and the data source file must be
                       placed in the $ARBORPATH/app/application
                       name/database path before using IA120
                       (Data Mart Load).

DAT-FILE-FORMAT        Alpha 1
Element: Text File FormThe File Format field contains the
                       value that indicates the layout of the
                       text file when a data load program is
                       used to create a text file.

                       Valid values are:
                       Blank or spaces = Unused. The target
                       destination of the data load program is
                       the data mart.
                       R = CSV file contains Members of a data
                       value defined in a row.
                       P = CSV file contains page and column
                       headers generated by the data load
                       program; Default value.
                       " " = Unused

DAT-DATA-BUILD-DTE     Numeric 8  (yyyymmdd)                     IA10.2  IA120
Element: Data Load DateThe Data Load Date field contains the     IA150   IASV.2
                       most recent date that the OLAP data mart
                       was populated with data values. The date
                       format used is YYYYMMDD.

DAT-DATA-BUILD-TME     Numeric 6  (hhmmss)                       IA10.2  IA120
Element: Data Load TimeThe Data Load Time field contains the     IA150   IASV.2
                       most recent time that the OLAP data mart
                       was populated with data values. The time
                       format used is HHMMSS.
