Data profiling is the process of reviewing data, understanding structure, content and interrelationships, and identifying potential for data projects. All users can view profile data, but only Admins, Business Users and Authors can profile objects.
Only tables and views for a datastore can be profiled.
Note
Profiling tables in an SAP application is not supported. Instead, use the staged copy of the data in the SRC or TGT working database.
To profile objects:
Verify you’re in the Catalog module of the Syniti Knowledge Platform.
Or
Select Catalog from the Home menu to navigate to the Catalog module of the Syniti Knowledge Platform.Ensure that the system datastore has a connection where the Usage is set to Profiling. Refer to Set the Usage of a Connection for more information
Select the Table to drill down to the object you want to profile.
Click Profile.
Datastores with a profiling job actively running can be canceled directly from the Datastores tab of the system Details page by clicking the Cancel profile icon or from the datastore Tables page by clicking the Cancel profile button. Cancelling a datastore profile automatically cancels all related table profile jobs that are still running under it.
Note
The Cancel profile button is only available to users with Execute Profiling permissions. If this option is not available to you, contact your administrator.
