Creating Multiple Data Object Profiles in Informatica Developer

Creating Multiple Data Object Profiles in Informatica Developer

When you run the multiple data object profile on multiple data objects, the Developer tool uses the default column profiling options to generate column profiles for one or more data objects. Optionally, you can create an enterprise discovery profile to run a profile on multiple data objects.
  1. In the
    Object Explorer
    view, select the data objects you want to profile.
  2. Click
    File
    New
    Profile
    to open the
    New Profile
    wizard.
  3. In the
    New
    wizard, select the
    Multiple Profiles
    option, and click
    Next
    .
  4. In the
    Multiple Profiles
    window, select the location where you want to create the profiles. You can create each profile at the same location as its profiled object, or you can specify a common location for the profiles.
  5. Verify that the names of the data objects you selected appear within the
    Data Objects
    section.
    Optionally, click
    Add
    to add another data object.
  6. Optionally, specify the number of rows to profile, and choose whether to run the profile when the wizard completes.
  7. Click
    Next
    .
  8. In the
    Validation Environment
    section, choose
    Native
    .
    Choose only the Native option to run the multiple data object profile. To run multiple data objects on the Blaze or Spark engine in the Hadoop run-time environment, you can choose the enterprise data discovery profile. To run multiple data objects on the Databricks Spark in the Databricks run-tim environmnet, you can choose the enterprise data discovery profile.
  9. Click
    Finish
    .
  10. Optionally, enter prefix and suffix strings to add to the profile names.
  11. Click
    OK
    .
