Running a Profile on a Mapplet or Mapping Object

When you run a profile on a mapplet or mapping object, the profile runs on all data columns and enables drill-down operations on the data that is staged for the data object. You can run a profile on a mapplet or mapping object with multiple output ports.
The profile traces the source data through the mapping to the output ports of the object you selected. The profile analyzes the data that would appear on those ports if you ran the mapping.
    1. Open a mapplet or mapping.
    2. Verify that the mapplet or mapping is valid.
    3. Right-click a data object or transformation and select Profile Now.
    If the transformation has multiple output groups, the Select Output Group dialog box appears. If the transformation has a single output group, the profile results appear on the Results tab of the profile.
    4. If the transformation has multiple output groups, select the output groups as necessary.
    5. Click OK.
    The profile results appears in the Results tab of the profile.
