TDM Load Task - Data Versioning Mode
A Load task contains the Load task type and loads (provisions) the task's entities and/or Reference tables to the target environment. A Data Versioning Load task gets the selected entities or Reference tables from the selected data version created on the source environment, deletes the current data from the target environment, and reloads the selected data version to the selected target environment.
An Load task contains the following tabs:
- General
- Additional Execution Parameters
- Requested Entities - opened if the Data Type contains entities.
- Task Scheduling
When checking the Set Task Variables setting, a new Task Variables tab opens.
When checking the Reference Data Type setting, a Reference tab opens.

Reservation Period
The reservation period settings are displayed if the load task also reserves the loaded entities on the target environment (the Reserve task type is checked together with the Load task type).
Note that when the Reservation Period is set to zero, the entities are reserved for unlimited period.
Only Admin and Environment owner users can reserve entities for unlimited period. Users that are attached to the target environment as testers must set a reservation period. The maximum number of days of a reservation period is set in the tdm_general_parameters TDB DB table in the MAX_RESERVATION_DAYS_FOR_TESTER parameter.
The start date of the reservation period is the task's execution time. The reservation period can be set in minutes, hours, days, or weeks.
