Exploring the Data Profile Editor
The Data Profile Editor is the main working area for creating and managing your data profile (.dp) file. When you create or open a data profile file, it opens in this editor. The following is a sample image of the Data Profile Editor.
It includes the following main areas:
• Project Explorer: Displays folders, projects, and artifacts within a workspace in a tree view. You cannot reorder or sort the items in this view. Double-click the file to open the artifact.
• Source Tab: You can manage the source connection and schema information from this tab. It also allows you to define sort and sample data. For more information, see Specifying the Source Connection for Data Profile.
• Rules Tab: You can manage the data quality rules to be applied to source fields from this tab. For more information, see Adding Rules from Rules Tab. You can also add and remove fields to/from your output. See Add Source/Derived Fields to Output.
• Targets Tab: You can manage the target connection and schema information from this tab. For more information, see Understanding and Specifying Data Profile Targets.
• Configuration Tab: You can manage logging options, macros, and Managing Rules from Rules Tab. For more information, see Configuring Data Profile.
• Statistics Tab: Displays overall execution results, rule-specific pass/fail statistics, and Managing Rules from Rules Tab (if configured). For information, see Validating and Running Profile.
