The following sheets will have either been contained in the initial Basic Configuration Spreadsheet, or will have been created when the Basic Subset Actions were run.
Sheet Name | Contains | Editable? | Effect of Editing |
---|---|---|---|
Configuration | Displays the database connection, source and target databases and schemas, max rows, max iterations and substitution parameters. | Yes | See the previous Knowledge Base article on the Configuration sheet. |
FOUNDCRITERIA | Displays any FoundCriteria, used to define when the Subset should finish. | Yes | See the previous Knowledge Base article on the FOUNDCRITERIA sheet. |
SQLCRITERIA | Contains the criteria used to produce the Subset results. | Yes | See the previous Knowledge Base article on the SQLCRITERIA sheet. |
ForeignKeys | Displays the Foreignkeys that have been read from the source database. | Yes | Toggle Foreign Keys that will be read in future Subsets. |
SoftKeys | Displays any “Soft” Primary Keys that were set for the Subset. | Yes | See the previous Knowledge Base article on the SoftKeys sheet. |
Tables | Displays the metadata that has been read from the source database. | Yes | Toggles the source tables from which metadata will be read during the Subset. |
RuleList | This sheet contains the rules to drive subsetting. These rules are formulated automatically from the user-defined parameters, maintain consistency and referential integrity. | No | See the previous article on the RuleList sheet. |
ProcessModel | This sheet contains the model used to drive the Subset. It is populated by information in the RuleList and SQLCriteria sheets. | Yes | See the previous article on the ProcessModel sheet. |
SubsetResults | This sheet displays the number of rows during Staging and the number of rows added to each Schema. | No | See the previous article on the SubsetResults sheet. |
HashCodes | The sheet holds hashcodes for the SQLCriteria, Tables, ForeignKeys and SoftKeys sheets. If any of these has changed since the last BUILDMODEL action was run, the ProcessModel sheet might then be out of date. | No | The automation uses the HashCodes sheet to validate that the database model is still valid and up-to-date. |
Identity Columns | This sheet is populated with the Identity Columns retrieved from the Source Database. | No | These Identity Columns are used by subsetting actions to insert data into the target tables. |
These sheets will all feature in the Control Sheet following a Basic Subset Job:
