Copying Standard Entity Metadata for Data Vault Search
Copying Standard Entity Metadata for Data Vault Search
After you retire an entity, you can use the prebuilt application-accelerator metadata to search and examine data in the entity through Data Vault search.
To search for retired entities in Data Vault and to keep the table relationships that existed at the time of retirement, you must copy the application module from a prebuilt application version to the custom application version folder. This triggers the Copy Entity from PFV job to run. When the job completes, assign the appropriate Data Vault access role to the entities to access these entities in Data Vault search.
You can copy entities between versions in an application but not between applications.
Go to
View
Database Archive
.
Navigate to the application version folder.
Right-click the application version folder and select
Copy Entities from Application Version
.
The
Copy Entities from Application Version
window appears.
Select the application version that contains the application module you want to copy.
Enter a descriptive prefix to identify the application module in Data Vault search.
Click
OK
.
The Copy Entity from PFV job begins.
From the Data Archive interface, go to
Jobs
Monitor Jobs
.
After the Copy Entity from PFV job completes, expand the row and view the job log.
The job log shows details such as mismatched tables between the accelerator and source database.
Assign Data Vault access roles to the entities.
You can search and examine the data in these entities through Data Vault search.
