Repository

The Repository connector is an object that is used to get data from objects of the current repository.

After adding the connector to the ETL task workspace set basic properties, data source in repository, import options. The connector output can also be edited and data filtering options can be set.

Selecting Data Source

The Data Source page is used to specify repository object from which data is imported.

The following objects can be selected to be used as a provider:

Table MDM dictionary, composite table MDM dictionary
Data sets (table, external table, view, query, ODBC data source).
Log.
Document.

In Foresight Analytics Platform, the Settings button is available for table, logs and other basic objects, that enables the user to determine advanced settings used on data identification.

For the Document objects, to which external files with data will be loaded (for example, Microsoft Excel file), the Import Options additional page will be available instead of the Options button.

Import Options

The Import Options page enables the user to specify parameters used to determine data range.

This page is displayed if the Document repository object with file loaded to it is selected as data source.

Settings depend on the data provider type and are similar to import from external data provider of the same format.

The Settings button enables the user to determine advanced settings used on identifying data.

The View Data button shows data selected by a query.

NOTE. Only the first hundred of the provider lines will be displayed during the data preview.
