Creating a Data Domain in Informatica Analyst

Creating a Data Domain in Informatica Analyst

You can create data domains, add them to the data domain glossary, and group data domains into one or more data domain groups. To create a data domain, you can use predefined data rules and column name rules or generate data domains from the values and patterns in the column profile results.
When you create a data domain, the Analyst tool copies rules and other dependent objects associated with the data domain to the data domain glossary. To edit a rule associated with a data domain, you must go to the original rule and make changes to it. You can then associate the modified rule to the data domain again.
