      Create a Business PIT

      A Model Object of type Business PIT can be created in the Business Vault Layer.

      What is a Business Point In Time table

      In Data Vault modeling, a Business Point In Time table (or Business PIT table) is connected to a Business Hub or a Business Link and has a similar structure as a Business Satellite.

      It stores all distinct load dates of all attached Business Satellites.

      It helps you load data from your Data Vault into the Data Mart, e.g., a dimension table or view.

      Creation steps

      A Business PIT can be created in the same way as a PIT: see Create a PIT. 

      Properties

      A Business PIT Model Object can be configured through the same Properties as a PIT: see Create a PIT. 

      Except:

      • The wizard is called Create Business PIT from a Raw Vault or Business Vault Model Object 

      Default Terms

      A Business PIT Model Object will include the same Default Terms as a PIT: see Create a PIT. 

      Business Rules

      A Business PIT Model Object will include the same Business Rules checks as a PIT: see Create a PIT.
