Discovering Relationships from Informatica Data Quality
Discovering Relationships from Informatica Data Quality
To generate profiles from Informatica Data Quality, initiate the discovery from the application version or the application module. Choose the tables to profile, configure the source connection properties, and configure profiling parameters that determine the type of profile that Data Quality generates.
Verify that the metadata import properties are configured on the
Informatica Data Quality
tab of the
System Profile
page. The Import Metadata job uses the properties to connect to and generate profiles from Data Quality.
Verify that the metadata is imported in the ILM repository for the tables you want to profile. The ILM engine can use suggested table relationships to create constraints only for tables that exist in the ILM repository.
If you use the Data Vault as the source, you initiate the discovery from the metadata that you imported from the source database. You do not have to import metadata from the Data Vault.
