Install and Schedule an Analytic Data Source

Install and Schedule an Analytic Data Source

Security:
Manage: Analytic Data Sources
 domain in the Analytical Framework functional area.
Install an analytic data source and define a schedule for updating the data in it.
  1. Access the
    Tenant Setup for Analytic Data Source
     task.
  2. Select the
    Analytic Data Source
     to install.
  3. In
    Run Frequency
    , specify how often to update the data in the analytic data source.
  4. Enter a name for the analytic data source schedule.
  5. Select the
    Schedule
     tab, and select the criteria for the schedule.
    When the analytic data source is based on data in Workday business objects that contain a very large number of instances, we recommend that you define the schedule to run:
    • During a quiet time.
    • Weekly or monthly.
Workday creates the analytic data source and its schedule. Workday loads data from Workday business objects into the data source at the next scheduled time.
You can:
  • Use the analytic data source in a discovery board or custom report.
  • View the data source details using the
    View Analytic Data Source (Workday Owned)
     report.
  • Edit, cancel, or view the analytic data source schedule.
