Resource
A view, table, procedure, transformation, or other resource defined in TDV.
Principal
A domain, user, or group.
Bundle
One or more resources of one of these types: resource or principal.
Resource Bundle
A collection of TDV resources that you want to deploy as a group. A resource bundle can contain views, tables, procedures, transformations, and so on that are defined in TDV.
Principal Bundle
A collection of TDV principals that you want to deploy as a group. A principal bundle can contain users, groups, and domains.
Mappings
Data source definitions which includes connection properties, catalogs, and schemas.
Deployment Plan
The source site, the target site, and the resource bundles to migrate and how they should be migrated. Can also include operations to remove target resources or execute procedure calls.
