Profile Objects

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 system 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.
