Viewing the Introspection Report for a Data Source
When you introspect a data source, TDV saves the introspection information for the data source so that it can be viewed at a later time. The Introspection Report displays the summary and details of the most recent successful introspection of this data source.
To view the introspection results for a data source
1. Open the data source in Studio.
2. Click the Introspection Report tab.
The Introspection Report tab displays the results of the latest introspection. It alerts you to any warnings or errors that might need your attention. It also indicates how many resources were introspected to synchronize changes with the data source.
3. Use the Show drop-down list to choose whether to display all warnings or errors. This selection filters the results to show any resources that had a problem.
Sometimes network latency or other data collisions can cause a problem with resource introspection; these problems can be cleared up by attempting to introspect those resources again. At other times, a data source type incompatibility might cause a table column to fail to load.
Refer to the TDV Reference Guide for details about the data source data types that are supported by TDV.
4. Optionally, select a message in the Details list and click Show Details.
TDV shows details about that message.
5. Optionally, click Export to export text file that contains a list of introspected resources.
