Show object list: This option displays all the objects from which connection can be created.
Operation that can be performed on these objects can be selected from here. They include Group, Info-Object, ADSO, Data Source, Field.
On clicking in any block created in data, its ADSO details can be updated. The Name, Description, Purpose and Details are values derived from its source, but can be updated. Example, if dataflow is created on Model Inflow, the name, description and purpose will show model name, description and purpose. The Details will show field ID-Description pair of fields contained in the model. The inflow will show the input source(if applicable) for the current selection. The outflow will show output(if applicable) to which the data from current selection will be moved. Hence, connection between sources and be created using inflow and outflow.
The details of the connection can be viewed from the link between two objects. The Source From to Target From mapping contains three tab, Field Mapping, Data filter and Advanced.
Field Mapping : This tab contains Source to Target mapping, this defines how data from the source will move to Target. If data needs to be moved from field to another, the field can be selected as much, and matching for members can be done using Conversion Rule. Or fixed member can be used to set source. A script can also be used to customize the mapping.
Data Filter: This option allows to filter source data by member., only filtered data is then moved to Target. The option to Enable User Input by field is also available here.
Advanced: This tab contains three options, Distribution, Target Clear Filter List and Advanced Process. Distribution enables moving source data to target in a fixed allocation proportion by using Data Enrichment Rule. Target Clear Filter List allows for clearing values from the target, so as when dataflow is executed multiple time, the values in target do not keep aggregating. Advancesd Process allows for creation of custom script to extract data.
Add: This option enabled selection between Data Source and File to create dataflow.
Publish: Updates to the dataflow need to be published to reflect the updated configuration in system.
Hide / Show Header: To show or hide the level2 header.
Pin Sub header: When header is hidden, can be pinned using this option.
