Creating Data Objects Overview

Creating Data Objects Overview

In the Analyst tool, a data object is a representation of data based on a flat file or relational database table. You create a flat file or table data object and then use the flat file and table data objects in a mapping specification.

Story

HypoStores keeps its customer data in flat files and relational tables. HypoStores needs to analyze the data and perform data integration tasks.

Objectives

In this lesson, you complete the following tasks:
  1. Upload the flat files to the flat file cache location and create flat file data objects.
  2. Import a target table data object into the Analyst tool.
  3. Preview the data for the data objects.
