Create Source Objects from a Discovery

Create Source Model Objects

You can create Source Model Objects from a Discovery

  1. either while adding a new Discovery 
  2. or by using an existing Discovery

While adding a Discovery (to an existing Source System or while creating a new Source System)

Please refer to the articles Add a Source System and Add a Discovery for more information.

After adding a Discovery, the Create Source step is displayed in the side panel window:

a) While adding a new Source System

b) While adding a Discovery to an existing Source System




Select the Discovery elements for which you want to create corresponding Source Model Objects:

a)

b)

If you want to create Stage Model Objects at the same time as the selected Source Model Objects, check the Include Stage creation from Source box in the lower-left corner:

Click the ADD or UPDATE button:

  • The Source Model Objects are created
  • If you selected the Include Stage creation from Source box, the Stage Model Objects are also created
  • A notification confirms that the creation was successful:

You can now add them to a Dataflow Modeling View.

From an existing Discovery

To create Source Model Objects from an existing Discovery, click on the Context Menu for the active Discovery in a Source System, and then select Create Source:

 

The Add a Model Object side panel window is opened:

The existing Source Model Objects for the Discovery are displayed with a gray background and cannot be deselected.

To delete a specific Source Model Object, see Delete a Model Object.

Select the Discovery elements for which you want to create corresponding Source Model Objects:

To create the Stage Model Objects at the same time as the selected Source Model Objects, check the Include Stage creation from Source box:

Click on the UPDATE button:

  • The Source Model Objects are created
  • If you selected the Include Stage creation from Source box, the Stage Model Objects are also created.
  • A notification confirms that the objects have been created.

You can now add them to a Dataflow Modeling View.

 

If you used the Wizard and your Source was a file, the Source Model Object name can, by default, contain the file's extension, such as CreditCard.parquet, for example.

You should remove the extension and rename the Stage object to CreditCard (for this example).

For all the Stage JDBC Generators (Microsoft Fabric and Databricks), you must add the source schema name before the source Model Object Name.

For example, CreditCard becomes Sales.CreditCard.
