Use the Data Discovery portal to search data that is archived to the Data Vault. The Data Discovery portal includes the following search tools:
Search Data Vault
Use a keyword, term, or specific string to search for records across applications in Data Vault. Records that match the keyword appear in the search results. A keyword or string search searches both structured and unstructured data files, for example .docx, .pdf or .xml files. You can narrow the search results by filtering by application, entity, and table. After you search the Data Vault, you can export the search results to a .pdf file.
Search Within an Entity
Use Search Within an Entity to search and examine application data from specific entities in the Data Vault. The Data Discovery portal uses the search criteria that you specify and generates a SQL query to access data from the Data Vault. After you search the Data Vault, you can export the search results to a CSV or PDF file.
Browse Data
Use Browse Data to search and examine application data from specific tables in the Data Vault. The Data Discovery portal uses the search criteria that you specify and generates a SQL query to access data from the Data Vault. After you search the Data Vault, you can export the search results to a .csv or .pdf file.
You can also use the Data Discovery portal to apply retention policies, legal holds, and tags to archived records. If data-masking is enabled, then sensitive information is masked or withheld from the search results.
