Definition

A data source is a generally remote data storage area plus its access rights.

Recorded data sources can be re-used in Tale of Data to help with configurations (flow, catalog, mass data discovery, etc.) that require read and/or write access to a data source.

Configuration

You must specify the type of data source image71. If necessary, you can create a new data source image72 (remote file repository, database,, etc.).

Specific settings are suggested for some types of source (files in particular) image73.

Il est possible d’utiliser un noeud source déjà présent dans un flow, pour en créer un autre dans un autre flow image210.

Example

image74

Ici, par exemple, on peut observer le paramétrage d’un nœud source.

Ce nœud sera une source de données de type “Système de fichiers Tale of Data”.

With the exception of My Workspace, all data sources can be altered or deleted by right-clicking the source in the catalog:

Caution

Any change to a data source (e.g. change of password) will affect all the flows. All flows using that data source for reading (source) or writing (sink) will be updated.
