Tips for Reintrospecting Large Data Sets
The process for reintrospecting data sources is described in Reintrospecting Data Sources. When reintrospecting large data sets:
If TDV has introspected a large number of resources for a given data source, introspecting this source again is an expensive operation.
Reintrospection brings all new resources that have been added to the source after the most recent introspection, if the Detect New Resources During Re-Introspection is selected on the Data Source Introspection/Properties tab.
If you want to add only a few new resources to the TDV, it might be better to newly introspect the resources rather than reintrospect them, because introspection only targets the selected resources.
