Importing data into a data set

Updated on May 17, 2024

    Note: Do not import a package that was not exported from a data set or was manually modified after the export operation. The data.json and the MANIFEST.mf files might be incorrect and cause errors.
  2. Optional: If necessary, change the size limit for data import.
  3. In Dev Studio, click RecordsData ModelData Set and open an instance of the Data Set rule.
  4. Click a data set to which you want to import data.

    • Database Table
    • Decision Data Store
    • Event Store
    • HBase
    • HDFS
    • Interaction History

  5. Click ActionsImport.
  6. Choose a .zip file that is a result of the export operation and click Import.
    Note: You should not import a package that was not exported from a data set or was manually modified after the export operation. The data.json and the MANIFEST.mf files might be incorrect and cause errors.
