Enterprise Discovery Process
You can run the enterprise discovery profile to perform enterprise discovery in the Developer tool. You need to configure the data discovery options for different profile types before you run the profile.
The Developer tool creates data objects for the selected data sources and profile tasks for each data object. The tool then runs the profile tasks to generate profile results.
Complete the following steps to perform enterprise discovery:
- 1. Create a enterprise discovery profile by choosing multiple data objects imported into the Model repository and data sources across multiple, external relational connections.
- 2. Define configuration settings for data domain discovery, column profile, primary key profile, and foreign key profile.
- 3. Run the enterprise discovery profile.
- 4. Refresh the Model Repository Service.
Note: You need to perform this action as the import of metadata for external connections happens in the Model repository. You need to refresh the Model Repository Service so that the Developer tool reflects the changes to the Model repository.
- 5. Monitor the profile run and if required, view the statuses of profile tasks that the Developer tool runs.
- 6. Review the enterprise discovery results summary. The summary includes an interactive graphical user interface view and a tabular view.
