Importing data into a data set

Move data between data sets on the Pega Platform and initialize new Pega Platform instances by importing data set records that were exported from different Pega Platform data sets. You can import data into data sets that support the Save operation excluding the stream data sets like Facebook, Stream, Twitter, or YouTube.

1. Check the size of the import package and the limit for data import into a data set.

   • If necessary, change the size limit for data import.

   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. Open an instance of the Data Set rule by clicking Records Explorer > Data Model > Data Set.

3. Click a data set to which you want to import data.

   Data set types that support import

   • Database Table
   • Decision Data Store
   • Event Store
   • HBase
   • HDFS
   • Interaction History
   • Visual Business Director

4. Click Actions > Import.

5. Choose a .zip file that is a result of the export operation and click Import.

   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.

6. When the import operation is finished, click Done.
