Data Profiling or Metadata

Hi Everyone,

 

We have 1000+ workflows and want to do data profiling for all the flows. Is there any way to do it in a faster manner.

If you have the R Tools installed, you can head over to the Data Investigation tool tab and select the Basic Data Profile tool to do this:

I re-read your question. So, you want to read the data profile of the input and output data of each workflow? 

 

You'll need to check out some of the XML code within the workflow. Building a workflow that reads the XML and location of the inputs/outputs, then parsing it out. The data types are also in there if you have an unconfigured Select tool.
