How to keep Master data in CDF: the data which is not part of any asset hierarchy 

Hi @nabanitakar, would you be able to give Glen a bit more information as requested? 


Hi,

The view from Product Management considering the direction we are taking CDF, with Data Modelling at the core, we would recommend first considering creation of a data model for your Master Data (with all its requisite types and relationships) in the Data Modelling service

In future we are likely to position RAW as a temporary, staging store for data onboarding workflows, and not as a persistent storage location.

It would still be valuable if you could provide more information about the Master Data though @nabanitakar.  Is it just a simple, single reference table?  How many properties /columns in the table, and how many rows is it likely to grow to?

Thanks!


@nabanitakar You have a few options available to you.

  1. You can create a new database and table by going to Integrate > Prepare data for transformation
    1. You should then see the RAW Explorer. From here you can click the plus (+) sign to create a database. On the next page you will be able to create a table and you can drag and drop your csv right here.
  2. You can use one of the SDKs to do the same thing. Here’s the python SDK documentation:

Master data means set of data in table which does not depend on assets : its just reference data


Hi @nabanitakar,

 

To better help answer or direct you to someone who can help you answer your question; What kinds of data represent “Master data” fin your question?
