Profile | Provides data profiling rules that help users quickly determine quality levels of the source data, identify the types of problems, and reduce issues resulting from propagating bad data to down-stream systems and applications. Each profile creates two files: • Data quality design file with file extension as .dq - Contains data profile information including data quality rules and schema, dimension configurations, and lookup keys if lookups are used. • Data quality run time configuration file with file extension as .dq.rtc - Contains data profile runtime information including macros, logging information, SMTP server details, source dataset configurations, configurations of the four targets (Pass, Fail, Drilldown and Statistics) and any lookups referenced in the data profile. |
EZscript library | Reusable expression written in the Script Editor. The file extension can be .bas, .rifl, or .ezscript. |
Structured Schema | Describes the structure and record types in source and target data. The file extension is .schema. |
