DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.5: User Guide

Profile Reference Node

Use a Profile Reference node to run an existing profile in the context of a process job. For example, you could combine data from different data sources into a single table and then run an existing profile against that table. You also could run the data through some data quality steps and then profile it to measure the quality level. For more information about the tabs at upper left of this dialog, click the following links:

• Settings Tab
• Inputs Tab
• Outputs Tab
• Node Connections Tab
• Log tab

You can specify the profile in the following locations:

• the Location field in the Settings tab
• the default value for the PROFILE_URI input in the Inputs tab
• the default values for REPOS_NAME and JOB_ID inputs in the Inputs tab

You can also drop an existing profile into a process job. A Profile Reference node is then added to the job and automatically pointed to the profile that you dropped.

The EXECUTE_STATUS output in the Outputs tab indicates whether the profile succeeds when the process job is run.
