How Discovery Works
Discovery helps you understand how your data sources relate to each other. Because Discovery understands the underlying data and metadata, it can reveal previously unknown relationships.
Discovery provides the facility to:
Access enterprise-wide data sources, including relational databases, data warehouses, and packaged applications.
Index the data sources.
Discover data relationships within and across data sources.
Validate data source relationships.
Create data models using a graphical interface.
Create views in TDV.
