Profiling only

Is there a way to create a recipe or a job to just performs Data Profiling, nothing else? The Data Profile is very rich to my process in order to assess data quality from data assets.

Hi - Profile results can be downloaded from Profile tab in job details tab as JSON or PDF.

JSON can be imported to dataprep as a dataset and further wrangled.

once new recipe is added, change datatype of the json column to object and unnest the object columns to new columns from suggestions.

ok so the answer is NO, the profiling will just be available if I perform a recipe. It´s not possible to only profile the dataset without any wrangling, right?

One can think of creating an empty recipe without steps and output the results.

Profiling is a job in itself. It forms an integral part of JobGroup(technical term) like Transform, Ingest and Publish jobs of a JobGroup.
