Data Load Overview

Before you can begin using Capture Analytics, you must load the data that you want to analyze.

For Capture Analytics, that is opportunity data from GovWin Capture Management.

After you implement Capture Analytics, you must load data periodically to make the latest GovWin Capture Management data available in the analytics.

Note: If your firm also has Costpoint Analytics and uses Capture Analytics as the source of business development data for CFO Dashboards, loading Capture Analytics data is a prerequisite task before running the CFO Dashboards data load process. Refer to the Deltek Costpoint Analytics CFO Dashboards Administration Guide for more information.

Opportunity Data

When you load data from GovWin Capture Management, the process loads data for all opportunities in the GovWin Capture Management database.

In addition, if you have installed the special workflow process in GovWin Capture Management to capture changes in key opportunity fields, the load process also brings that change information into Capture Analytics for use in the Historical Pipeline Analytics.

Data Load Process

To load data, complete the following basic steps:

  1. Open Capture Analytics Configuration.

  2. If necessary, make changes to the configuration settings.

  3. Click Run Data Load Batch File to run the process that updates the data model and loads GovWin Capture Management data.

For more detailed procedures, see Load the Initial Set of Capture Analytics Data.

When to Load Opportunity Data

Normally, you load data into Capture Analytics at the following times:

Scheduling the Data Load Process

If you want the data load process to run automatically on a set schedule, use the Scheduled Task feature in Microsoft® Windows® to set up scheduled tasks for the Load_CRM_Data.bat file.

When you install Capture Analytics, the install process automatically sets up a DeltekAnalyticsLoadCRMData scheduled task to run a full Capture Analytics data load nightly at 11:00 p.m. You enable that task as part of the installation process. Review that scheduled task after the installation and modify the settings to fit your needs.

If your firm purchased QlikView Publisher along with Capture Analytics, you can also use the QlikView Management Console to schedule the data load process. For more information on scheduling the data load process using the QlikView Management Console, see Schedule the Data Load Process.

Capture Analytics SaaS: If you have a Capture Analytics SaaS Subscription, Deltek Cloud Operations runs the data load process each night. When you have completed your configuration of Capture Analytics, send an email to CCOps@deltek.com and ask Cloud Operations to begin the nightly data load processes. Do not make this request before you have completed the configuration. If configuration is not complete, the data load may not run successfully.  

Data Load Programs

Capture Analytics provides the .bat files described below for loading and updating data. Those files are located in the <installation location>\Admin folder.

To run any of the .bat files to load data, you must log on to the Capture Analytics server as the DeltekAnalytics user or as another QlikView-licensed user that you have set up. Do not log on as the DeltekAnalyticsCW user to run these batch files.

Capture Analytics SaaS: If you have a Capture Analytics SaaS Subscription, Load_CRM_Data_without_Datapull.bat is not available.

If your firm has Costpoint Analytics, you can also load Capture Analytics data along with Costpoint Analytics data using these .bat files:

Who Can Load Data

Capture Analytics provides no internal security for the configuration applications or the data load .BAT files. Be sure that only the appropriate persons have access to the network folders in which you installed Capture Analytics.

Capture Analytics SaaS: If you have a Capture Analytics SaaS Subscription, Deltek Cloud Operations provides security for the configuration applications and data load files.
