Load file specifications

You can load natives, image files, and extracted text provided from third-party applications. When you load data, make sure the load folder contains the appropriate files and folders, and that the DAT, OPT, and LST file contents are in the proper format.

Keep the load folder and files intact, exactly as the third-party tool created them. After verifying that the data meets these requirements, refer to the Load a production from DataHub topic for instructions on how to perform the load.

Folder and file names in DataHub are case-sensitive. When you select a load file, make sure the folder and file names match the exact casing used in DataHub. Even a small difference in capitalization (for example, Data instead of data) can prevent the system from finding the file. Full file paths are not supported.

Supported file encoding

The system supports the following file encoding: Unicode, Unicode (Big Endian), Unicode (UTF-8), and Western European (Windows).
