ODS Repository (Magic xpi 3.x)
You use the ODS Repository to create ODS entries. An ODS entry is the same as a user key. Each entry can contain data or arrays of data. In most cases you must create the ODS entry first and then you configure a flow to manage the data. See Operational Data Storage (ODS) for a description of ODS data.
You create ODS entries in the ODS Repository. The ODS Repository maintains all static ODS entry names and descriptions and lets you select an ODS entry to be used when managing ODS data using the Data Mapper or Flow Data Services.
To add an ODS entry to the repository:
-
From the Project menu, click ODS to open the ODS Repository.
-
Click New to create a new entry. The next line becomes active when you click New.
-
Enter the following information in the repository's columns.
|
|
|
|
Name
|
Enter the name of the ODS data. This is the User Key.
|
|
Description
|
Enter a description that helps to identify the purpose for the data. This is optional.
|
|
Scope
|
Select ODS Global or ODS Local.
|
-
When you finish entering the required information, click OK to close the repository and to save the data.
-
To delete an entry, select a topic in the repository and click Delete to permanently remove the topic from the repository.
|
Note:
|
If you change the scope of a ODS that you defined in the ODS Repository, the change will not be reflected when the ODS is used as a Destination type in the Data Mapper. For example, if you define a global ODS called ODS1, and you then change its scope to local, a global ODS will be created instead of a local ODS when the project is executed.
