Use a Data Vault template to create a mapping that writes data to a hub, link, or
satellite table.
The Data Vault category contains the following templates:
Data Vault – Hub. Generates
unique business keys and writes them to a hub table along with the date the
records are loaded.
Data Vault – Link. Creates
relationships between hub or other link tables based on business keys and stores
the connection in a link table.
Data Vault – Satellite. Generates
a satellite table to store descriptive data such as context or history for
either a hub or a link.
You can use the templates individually or use all three to help you structure your data. However,
Data Vault components must be loaded sequentially. A link record must reference existing
hub or link records, and a satellite record must reference its parent hub or link
record.
