Data Domain Discovery Process

You can define and run a profile to perform data domain discovery in the Analyst tool or Developer tool based on your job role. After you have configured the data domain discovery options and run the profile, you can verify and drill down on the results. If you run data domain discovery from within the editor, you can add the results to a data model.
Complete the following steps to perform data domain discovery:
  1. 1. Create or import data domains and domain groups.
  2. 2. Optionally, consolidate data domains under appropriate domain groups.
  3. 3. Create a profile to perform data domain discovery. You start by choosing whether you want to run a column profile along with data domain discovery or only data domain discovery.
  4. 4. Select the columns, domains, and the appropriate sampling options.
  5. 5. Run the profile.
  6. 6. Verify, drill down on profile results, and add results to a data model as required.
