Profiling Session Step-by-step
Working with CloverDX Data Profiler consists of these basic steps:
-
Getting the data. Data sources which you can profile: a file (e.g. flat file, CSV or even multiple files at once), a database table or an Excel sheet (XLS/XLSX).
-
Specifying metadata. Metadata describe the input data.
-
Specifying metrics.
-
Specifying sampling of the input data.
Having performed this and all preceding steps, you have created a new Job (see Creating Jobs)
-
Running the job. This will produce a single Run.
-
Observing results of your profiling jobs.
-
Other optional tasks, such as: exporting results, changing job settings (Modifying Jobs), etc.
