Scheduling Reintrospection
You can schedule reintrospection to occur at a specific time, date, or interval. The scheduled reintrospection option is available only if the password was saved when the data source was originally added to the server.
To schedule reintrospection
1. Right-click a data source name in the resource tree, and select Open.
2. Click the Re-Introspection tab at the bottom of the Studio workspace for the open data source.
3. In the Scheduled Re-Introspection section, select the options for the schedule you want reintrospection to follow.
a. Select Save Detected Changes if you want the changes detected in the data source during reintrospection to persist (that is, be saved in the repository). Uncheck this box if you want to inspect the changes prior to accepting them and committing data source metadata changes to the TDV metadata.
b. Select the frequency with which you want reintrospection to repeat:
— None (the default). Reintrospection is not scheduled.
— Repeat Every < > minute(s), and type the number of minutes in the text field.
— Repeat Hourly for the reintrospection to recur every hour.
— Repeat Daily for the reintrospection to recur every day.
— Repeat Weekly for the reintrospection to recur every week.
c. Specify the starting time and date for the introspection in the corresponding drop-down lists.
The date entered indicates the time at which the first occurrence of the reintrospection is to occur. For example, if a daily event is set for 11:55 a.m. three days in the future, it will run at 11:55 a.m. in three days and then every day thereafter.
d. To send a reintrospection report to one or more email addresses, type and confirm the email addresses of the recipients.
Separating multiple email addresses with commas (,) or semicolons (;).
4. Right-click on the resource panel’s upper tab and select Save to save your settings.
