Several changes can be made to the load default (see table below). The choice(s) available change based on the load selected. Please refer to the WIN-202 V4 Extract Development Guide for more information about Progress defaults and loading information into the WIN-202 system.

Loading Data

To Load Data (refer to Appendix C for file formats):

  1. Click the "Load" tab.
  2. Click the radio button of the data you want to load (e.g., Admin, Quarterly) in the "Choose Load" section.
  3. Click the box(es) in the "Change Default Behavior" section if the data is not in the Progress standard format (i.e., data in the admin and quarterly split formats, and transaction based processing). Note: The options in this section change based on the Load.
  4. Enter the filename and path in the "Enter Filename" field. If you are unsure of the filename, use the [Browse] button to search for the file. The data file for the extract is typically located on the server under the WIN202\data subdirectory. When you find it, highlight it and click the [Open] button. The filename and path display in the box. Delete the drive letter and colon so all that remains is the following: \WIN202\data\filename.
  5. Click the [View Sample] button to verify the correct format of the data.
  6. Click [Begin Load] to start the loading process. A message will appear stating that the load has been initiated. Analysts can check the job status using the Batch Monitor (Manager). An error file is produced for each load (batch) run. Any errors will be reported on this file. See Chapter 6, Administrative, Monitor (Batch Monitor) Tab for more information on checking job status and Error Files.
