The Cloud version works a little differently from the local version of IBM Planning Analytics. IBM Planning Analytics on Cloud will only pick up a csv file from the shared folder (\\data\s..);
When you define the csv data directory make sure that the ‘Data Source Name’ is different from the ‘Data Source Name on Server’. For example, if you create a folder named ‘DATA_IMPORT’ in the server data folder (e.g., tm1).
The Data source name will be:
Data Source Name: \\data\s\prod\tm1\DATA_IMPORT\xxx.csv
The ‘Data Source Name on Server’ will be relative to the ‘Data Source Name’ directory
..\DATA_IMPORT\xxx.csv
Use ’ ..\’ if the file is within the same folder level ‘data’ folder.
Use .\ if the file is located in the ‘data’ folder.
