Overview and naming convention

The TIBCO EBX® Insight Add-on brings a portfolio of ready-to-use indicators to follow the quality of data over time. This portfolio can be enriched by any custom indicators a company wants to implement (refer to the user guide).

The indicators can assess the quality of any asset known in TIBCO EBX® such as: tables, fields, workflows, dataspaces, datasets, business rules.

The indicator definitions that are provided with the add-on use this naming convention applied to the code of the definition:

[ON] type_of_data_element_concept-Idigit

Where type_of_data_element_concept can be 'T' for Table, 'F' for field, 'W' for workflow, 'D' for dataset and dataspace, 'O' for operation. And the digit is an incremented by one number by type of data element concept.

Here are some examples:

[ON] T-I01, [ON] T-I02

[ON] F-I01, [ON] F-I02, [ON] F-I03

[ON] O-I01

These indicator definitions are in read-only. To create a new indicator definition based on one provided by the add-on, it is necessary to duplicate the definition, change the code with any naming convention except the use of the prefix [ON], and then adapt the definition.

The attachment of the Data Element Concepts (D.E.C.) and the Data views is based on the indicator definitions. This means that when a new indicator definition is created it entails to maintain the configuration related to the D.E.C.s and the Data views attachments (tables "Indicator on D.E.C." and "Indicator View", please refer to the user guide).
