You can
export data profiling items including analyses, database connections, patterns, and
indicators, etc. from the current instance of Talend Studio to the
root directory of another Talend Studio instance
or to archive files.
The export operation from the
Profiling
perspective will only export the data profiling items listed in the
DQ Repository tree view including analyses, reports,
connection metadata and the patterns used by analyses for example. You can export Jobs
with data quality components listed in the Repository tree view
via an export operation done from the
Integration
perspective. When you export these Jobs, their dependencies are exported as
well such as the patterns used by the data quality components and the connection
metadata.
Before you begin
At least, one data profiling item has been created in the
Profiling
perspective.
Procedure
-
Complete one of the following steps:
- Right-click anywhere in the DQ Repository tree view
and select Export Items.
- Click on the toolbar to export Items.
The Export Item wizard is displayed.
-
Select the root directory or archive file option and then click Browse... and browse to the directory/archive where you want
to export the data profiling items.
-
Select the check boxes of the data profiling items you want to export or use the
Select All or Deselect
All tabs.
When you select and export items, specific behaviors are applied:
- Selecting an analysis check box: all analysis dependencies including the
metadata connection, the contexts and any patterns or indicators used in this
analysis are selected by default.
- Exporting analyses from a reference project: all their items will be
exported.
- Selecting items from a main project: items from the reference projects are
available. Select them to export them.
Tip: If you have an error message on top of the dialog box that
indicates missing dependencies, click the
Include
dependencies button. It automatically selects the check boxes of
all items necessary to the selected data profiling analysis.
The
Include dependencies button has no effect when
selecting items from a main project. For example, when an analysis from a main
project depends on a connection in the reference project, the connection is not
selected in the Export item wizard. You must select it.
Clicking the Include dependencies button has no effects
in this case.
For more information about reference projects, see
Working with referenced projects.
-
If required, select the Browse check box to have in the
export list only the selected data profiling items.
-
Click Finish to validate the operation.
A progress bar is displayed to indicate the progress of the export operation
and the data profiling items are exported in the defined place.
