Application

A deployable object that can contain data objects, mappings, SQL data services, web services, and workflows. You can create, edit, and delete applications.

Data service

A collection of reusable operations that you can run to access and transform data. A data service provides a unified model of data that you can access through a web service or run an SQL query against. You can create, edit, and delete data services.

Data object operation

Logical data object

An object in a logical data object model that describes a logical entity in an enterprise. It has attributes and keys, and it describes relationships between attributes. You can create, edit, and delete logical data objects in a logical data object model.

Logical data object mapping

A mapping that links a logical data object to one or more physical data objects. It can include transformation logic. You can create, edit, and delete logical data object mappings for a logical data object.

Logical data object model

A data model that contains logical data objects and defines relationships between them. You can create, edit, and delete logical data object models.

Mapping

A set of inputs and outputs linked by transformation objects that define the rules for data transformation. You can create, edit, and delete mappings.

Mapplet

A reusable object that contains a set of transformations that you can use in multiple mappings or validate as a rule. You can create, edit, and delete mapplets.

Operation mapping

A mapping that performs the web service operation for the web service client. An operation mapping can contain an Input transformation, an Output transformation, and multiple Fault transformations. You can create, edit, and delete operation mappings in a web service.

Physical data object

A physical representation of data that is used to read from, look up, or write to resources. You can create, edit, and delete physical data objects.

Reference table

Contains the standard versions of a set of data values and any alternative version of the values that you may want to find. You can view and delete reference tables.

Transformation

A repository object in a mapping that generates, modifies, or passes data. Each transformation performs a different function. A transformation can be reusable or non-reusable. You can create, edit, and delete transformations.

Virtual schema

A schema in a virtual database that defines the database structure. You can create, edit, and delete virtual schemas in an SQL data service.

Virtual stored procedure

A set of procedural or data flow instructions in an SQL data service. You can create, edit, and delete virtual stored procedures in a virtual schema.

Virtual table

A table in a virtual database. You can create, edit, and delete virtual tables in a virtual schema.

Virtual table mapping

A mapping that contains a virtual table as a target. You can create, edit, and delete virtual table mappings for a virtual table.

Workflow

A graphical representation of a set of events, tasks, and decisions that define a business process. You can create, edit, and delete workflows.
