Selecting a Minischema Option in the Introspection Wizard

Begin introspection by selecting a data source to examine and then choosing a minischema option.

  To begin introspection and choose a minischema option:

  1. In the Data Source Navigator, right-click the data source on which you want to perform introspection, and select Introspect.

  2. Choose an option:

    • Create a new schema diagram—If you choose this option, enter a name for the new minischema.

    • Skip minischema diagram—If you choose this option, you still are guided through the introspection process, but you will not create a minischema diagram.

      Note:

      If you are accessing a text file data source, you may create a minischema, but it will not contain joins.

  3. Ensure that Use Introspection to Detect Hierarchies is selected.

  4. Click Next; or, if you chose not create a minischema, click Finish.

    Clicking Next takes you to the Select Fact Tables page of the wizard, as described in Populating a Minischema for Relational Sources.
