About Studio
Studio is the primary tool you use to work with TDV. Studio has three major components, accessed using tabs along the left side of the Studio window:
• Modeler
— Model, manage, and publish data sources, transformations, views, SQL scripts, parameterized queries, packaged queries, definition sets, triggers, TDV databases, and Web services.
— Define and refine resource properties and parameters using one of the work space editors.
— Archive, export, and import TDV resources.
— Configure TDV components and operational controls.
• Manager
— Monitor and manage resource activities, including data source interactions with TDV. See the TDV Administration Guide for more information.
• Discovery
— Reveal hidden correlations in enterprise data so you can build data models for data virtualization and reporting.
— Scan data and metadata from across data repositories, whether they are applications, databases, or data warehouses.
— Using Discovery’s graphical tools, create data models based on system metadata and discovered relationships. For details, see the Discovery User Guide.
The following graphic identifies the main components of the Modeler window.
For more information about the Modeler resource tree, see
Modeler Resource Tree.
The contents of the Modeler work space depends on the type of resource you have opened. Each resource has its own resource editor, and the editor usually has multiple tabs. To learn about the work space contents and how to work with each type of resource, refer to the appropriate topic of this manual.
