The Import Metadata job gets a list of all imported source metadata in the ILM repository for the application version or application module that you initiated the discovery from. The job connects to Data Quality from the metadata import connection properties that are configured on the

Profiling and Discovery

tab of the

System Profile

page. The job uses the values in the exported file to collect the full results from the profiling warehouse for the tables in the application version or the application module that you specify. The job imports all the suggested unique keys, suggested foreign keys, and primary key relationships to a profiling suggestion table in the ILM repository. The job does not create the constraints in the ILM repository. You must review the suggestions and then choose which suggestions you want to create constraints from.

When you submit the job, a message provides the job ID. Use the job ID to monitor the job status and the job log. The job log includes the parameters of the discovery, such as the discovery method you used and the parameters that you entered for the discovery tool. The job log shows the application version or application module and the related tables that you ran the discovery for, and the other parameters that initiated the discovery.
