Data profiling

Enable the data profiling capability to evaluate the quality of the metadata extracted from source systems. The data profiling process assesses the source metadata and views the collected column data statistics to discover content and structure, such as value distribution, patterns, and data types. These statistics can help your organization determine the suitability of the data to solve the business problem.

When you create a catalog source, select the

Data Profiling

option on the

Configuration

wizard to enable data profiling for the catalog source. Set the data profiling configuration options and run the catalog source job to monitor the status of the data profiling task and view the task results on the job overview page. You can view the detailed profiling statistics for the extracted metadata in

Data Governance and Catalog

when you open the catalog source asset. For more information about viewing profiling statistics extracted from source systems, see the

Asset Details

module in the

Cloud
