Hello everyone,

 

I found differences in the results between "Map" tab and "Report" tab after running a Data Exploration. I though they had to be the same and would appreciate an explanation. An attached pdf contains screenshots.

 

Using the Virtual Lab, I opened DataFlux Management Studio (2.6, QKB 2.6) and did the following:

 

* Created repository "Basics Demos"

* Created a new Data Exploration Ch3D2_dfConglomerate_DataExploration

  - used dfConglomerate Gifts and dfConglomerate Grocery as source data (see page 1)

  - checked "Field Name Matching"; Locale: "English (US)"; Match def.: "Field Name"; Sensitivity: 85 (see page 1)

* Run the DataExploration

* Received in the tab "Map" a map that, if I clicked the field "ID" (table Products; dfConglomerate Gifts), resulted in 9 highlighted green lines; meaning 9 similar fields were found (see page 2: Products/ID is selected by left click, Orders/Customer ID is selected by mouse over). These fields are:

  - ID in Employees (dfConglomerate Gifts)

  - ID in Customers (dfConglomerate Gifts)

  - ID in MANUFACTURERS (dfConglomerate Grocery)

  - MANUFACTURER_ID in BREAKFAST_ITEMS (dfConglomerate Grocery)

  - ITEM_ID in BREAKFAST_ITEMS (dfConglomerate Grocery)

  - ID in BREAKFAST_ITEMS (dfConglomerate Grocery)

  - ID in Order Details (dfConglomerate Gifts)

  - EMPLOYEE ID in Orders (dfConglomerate Gifts)

  - CUSTOMER ID in Orders (dfConglomerate Gifts)

* Received in the tab "Report", "Field Match" riser bar a list that, if I clicked the field "ID" (table Products; dfConglomerate Gifts), resulted in only 6 similar fields (see page 3). These 6 fields are included in the list above. The 3 missing fields are:

  - CUSTOMER ID in Orders (dfConglomerate Gifts) (the one selected on page 2 by mouse over)

  - ITEM_ID in BREAKFAST_ITEMS (dfConglomerate Grocery)

  - MANUFACTURER_ID in BREAKFAST_ITEMS (dfConglomerate Grocery)

 

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the same amount of similar fields in both cases, or?

 

Thanks and best regards,

Lu

Luhan,

This is very observant, and it is something we are going to need to look into.

Hi Luhan,

 

I was able to replicate this with the latest Data Management Studio and QKB versions. We will investigate.

 

Thanks for reporting.
