Invoking Data Source Introspection
You can invoke data source introspection when you first create a connection to a data source or at any time after the data source has been created.
To invoke introspection when the data source is initially created
Click the Create and Introspect button on the New Physical Data Source panel.
To invoke data source introspection at any time after the data source has been created
Use any of these methods:
Right-click the name of the data source in the Studio resource tree and select the Add/Remove Resources option.
Select the data source in the Studio resource tree. Open the Resource menu and select Add/Remove Resources.
Open the data source and click the Add/Remove Resources button.
If you request multiple introspection tasks for the same data source, the requests are queued and executed sequentially, with all but the current task listed as WAITING.
