Overview

Purpose of the Bulk Loader
- The Bulk Loader is a process that is used to add several new addresses to the EAS at one time. This can be accomplished in a single batch or a series of batches for very large datasets (250,000+ records).
What it Involves
- There are several stages that make up the Bulk Loader process. Stages include importing raw datasets from CSV, parsing, filtering, geocoding, creating subsets and bulk loading the subsets.
- Various filtering steps along the way contribute to a secondary set of addresses that were not loaded during the process. These artifacts can be reviewed and reprocessed at a later stage.
Steps to Run
- Each stage involves a series of steps. These steps are outlined in detail on the page Bulk Loader Process.
