Create Explore Data Node

You create an Explore Data node and connect it to a data source to analyze the data in the data source. You can connect an Explore Data node to any data source. A successfully run Explore Data node looks like data source and data profile nodes

  1. If it is not already open, open the Components window using View > Components. Select Workflow Editor.

  2. In the Workflow Editor, expand Data, and click Explore Data.

  3. Click; move the mouse to the workflow; click again.

  4. Move the mouse to the node in the workflow that you want to analyze; right-click that node, and select Connect from the context menu.

  5. Draw a line from the node to analyze to the Explore Data node; click again.

  6. To generate statistics and otherwise analyze data, right-click the Explore Data node, and select Run from the context menu.

  7. After execution completes, view the results by right-clicking the node and selecting View Data from the context menu. The Explore Data Node Data Viewer launches.

The default is to analyze all attributes in the data source. You can specify the attributes to analyze as described in Edit Explore Data Node.
