Creating an Enterprise Discovery Profile in Informatica Developer

Creating an Enterprise Discovery Profile in Informatica Developer

You can create a profile on multiple data sources under multiple connections. The Developer tool creates individual profile tasks for each source.
  1. In the
    Object Explorer
     view, select multiple data objects you want to run a profile on.
  2. Click
    File > New > Profile
     to open the profile wizard.
  3. Select
    Enterprise Discovery Profile
     and click
    Next
    .
  4. Enter a name for the profile and verify the project location. If required, browse to a new location.
  5. Verify that the name of the data objects you selected appears within the
    Data Objects
     section. Click
    Choose
     to select more data objects, if required.
  6. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Add Resources to Profile Definition
     pane appears. You can select multiple, external relational connections and data sources from this pane.
  7. Click
    Choose
     to open the
    Select Resources
     dialog box.
    The
    Resources
     pane lists all the internal and external connections and data objects under the Informatica domain.
  8. Click
    OK
     to close the dialog box.
  9. Click
    Next
    .
  10. Configure the profile types that you want to run. You can configure the following profile types:
    • Data domain discovery
    • Column profile
    • Primary key profile
    • Foreign key profile
    Select
    Enabled as part of "Run Enterprise Discovery Profile" action
     for the profile types that you want to run as part of the enterprise discovery profile. Column profiling is enabled by default.
  11. Review the options for the profile.
    You can edit the sampling options for column profiles. You can also edit the inference options for data domain, primary key, and foreign key profiles.
  12. Select
    Create profiles
    .
    The Developer tool creates profiles for each individual data source.
  13. Select
    Run enterprise discovery profile on finish
     to run the profile when you complete the profile configuration. If you enabled all the profiling operations, the Developer tool runs column, data domain, and primary key profiles on all selected data sources. Then, the Developer tool runs a foreign key profile across all the data sources.
  14. Click
    Finish
    .
    After you run an enterprise discovery profile, you need to refresh the Model Repository Service before viewing the results. This step is required 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.
