You can edit a profile for the next profile run. You can change the profile definition, add or remove filters, add or remove rules, choose another runtime environment, edit schedule details, edit email address for notifications, and edit advanced options.
Definition
On the Definition tab, you can edit the following options for the next profile run:
Asset Details
Change or edit the Name and Description options.
The Asset Details area shows the location of the asset, user who created the profile, timestamp of the profile run, and used storage.
The Used Storage (MB) field shows the storage space consumed in the profiling warehouse for the profile results that you view on the Results tab. The storage space depends on the sampling option, columns, filter, and advanced options that you select for the profile run. It also depends on the identified number of unique values and outliers. Data Profiling stores the profile results in the profiling warehouse. The profiling warehouse is an Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services repository where Data Profiling stores the profile results.
Connection and Source Details
Switch between connections of the same database type in a profile definition. Data Profiling displays all the connections in the profile definition and does validation checks to validate the connection that you select. Choose a different connection or source object for the next profile run. The following list describes the different combinations with which you can edit a connection or source object:
- If you retain the same connection and choose a different source object that includes the same details as the previous source object, Data Profiling preserves the configuration settings of the columns that you select to profile, filters, and rules.
- If you retain the same connection and choose a different source object that does not include the same details as the previous source object, you need to select the columns to profile, and then fix the filters and rules that are not valid.
- If you choose a different connection and source object, you need to select the columns to profile, configure the filters and rules again from scratch.
- If you choose a different connection and a source object with same name and includes the same details as the previous source object, Data Profiling preserves the configuration settings of the columns that you select to profile, filters, and rules.
