Starting an initial data load from (EVS006)

To perform an initial load of selected M3 data into Show or Sync BODs:

  1. In M3, open 'Initial Load. Open' (EVS006).
  2. In BOD noun, specify the noun of the BOD, for example Location.
  3. Optional: In BOD variant specify the variant of the BOD noun, for example Facility.
  4. In Table, specify the master table name, for example CFACIL to trigger M3BE_Out_SyncLocationFacility or M3BE_Out_ShowLocationFacility.
    See information about master tables for initial load in Master tables for initial load.
  5. Click Create.
  6. On (EVS006/E), specify the BOD description.
  7. Optionally, define the Selection criteria. You can use the fields that you specified in the selection as filters when running the initial load event in 'Initial Load Job. Open' (EVS007).
    Note: We recommend defining the selection to avoid triggering several events.
  8. Click Next.

    • Filter criteria for the selected tables and fields.
