7. Run the data profiling activity

Data profiling can be run manually, or scheduled as part of a routine or via API. 

To run the data profiling activity:

1. Click the ‘Play’ icon to run the routine
   

2.  When ready, you can execute this job

   Below, we’ve selected the option to run the schema crawler to gather further metadata.

   Click ‘Execute’ if you’re happy the ‘Connection ID to scan’ is correct.

   
   
   

3. Follow the Job to check it’s finished and the results have been collected 

   

4. Review the results

   When the job completes, a new scan will be available against the ‘Data Definition’. Navigate to the 'Data Definition' and observe the new tags that have been added as part of the scan.
   

5. The Scan #2 version will now hold the scanned PII formation. Click on Scan #2.
   

   The scan will hold the information for PII we are looking for. The Version #2 will hold the schema details.
   
   

   The scanned tables and columns will now have the Tags assigned to them based on the information we picked up during the scan.
