Importing Data

ALM Data Warehouse imports data from Helix ALM and Surround SCM source databases based on a schedule you set or on demand, and stores it in a separate database. Imported data is used to populate reports. Data from the Helix ALM License Server is automatically imported before other imports start or on demand.

ALM Data Warehouse can import data from Helix ALM product databases stored in any supported RDBMS format except SQLite on Linux. If a product database to import from is stored in SQLite on Windows, you need to perform some additional configuration before importing. See Importing data from SQLite databases.

Import information is displayed when you log in to the data warehouse if you have permission to administer all license server functions on the license server. You can configure which databases to import from and the import schedule. See Managing databases and Scheduling imports.
