Importing metadata from data sources
When you are modifying a project, you can import metadata
from a variety of data sources, both relational and dimensional. Before
importing, it is important that you determine that the data source
contains the data and metadata that satisfy your reporting needs.
Modify the data source
Data sources in Framework Manager contain information that identifies
the location of any data source tables needed for the query subjects. This
information is the name of the data source in the content store, in addition
to the optional catalog and schema names. When you customize IBM® Rational® Insight
data warehouse,
make sure that you change the name in the content manager and change the schema
name in the data source.
Update the query subject
Data source query subjects directly reference data in a single
data source. This section describes how to update query subjects.
Creating and modifying a package
You create a package to make metadata available to your
users. A package is a subset of a project. For example, if your data
source contains information from different areas of a business, you
might decide to create different packages for Human Resources and
Finance. It must contain all information that a specific user or group
of users needs to create reports.
