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.

In the

Object Explorer

view, select multiple data objects you want to run a profile on.

Click

File > New > Profile

to open the profile wizard.

Select

Enterprise Discovery Profile

and click

Enter a name for the profile and verify the project location. If required, browse to a new location.

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.

Click

The

Add Resources to Profile Definition

pane appears. You can select multiple, external relational connections and data sources from this pane.

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.

Click

to close the dialog box.

Click

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.

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.

Select

Create profiles

The Developer tool creates profiles for each individual data source.

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.

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.
