Configuration Options for Enterprise Discovery

You can choose to run a column profile or a profile to perform data domain discovery. You can also choose to run both column profile and a profile to perform data domain discovery as part of the configuration.

Data Domain Discovery Settings

The data domain discovery settings include choosing whether data domain discovery must run on column data, column name, or both column data and column name. You can choose data domains and specify whether data domain discovery needs to process all the rows in the data source. You can also set a minimum conformance percentage for data domain inference.

Option	Description
Enable data domain discovery	Performs data domain discovery as part of enterprise discovery.
Run data domain discovery on data	Performs data domain discovery on column data.
Run data domain discovery on column name	Performs data domain discovery on the name of each column.
All rows	Performs data domain discovery on all source rows.
Maximum rows for data domain discovery	The maximum number of rows the profile can run on. The Analyst tool chooses rows starting from the first row in the source.
Minimum conformance percentage	The minimum conformance percentage of the column data to be eligible for a data domain match. The conformance percentage is the ratio of number of matching rows divided by the total number of rows. Note: The Analyst tool considers null values as nonmatching rows.
Exclude columns with approved data domains	Excludes columns with approved data domains from the data domain inference of the profile run.

Column Profile Sampling Options

Option	Description
Enable column profiling	Runs a column profile as part of enterprise discovery.
All Rows	Runs a column profile on all rows in the data source.
First <number> Rows	The number of rows that you want to run the column profile on. The Analyst tool chooses the rows starting from the first row in the data source.
Exclude datatype inference for columns with approved datatypes	Excludes columns with an approved datatype from the datatype inference of the profile run.
