What do you want to do?

  • Open the DQS Cleansing Transformation Editor

  • Set options on the Connection Manager tab

  • Set options on the Mapping tab

  • Set options on the Advanced tab

  • Set the options in the DQS Cleansing Connection Manager Dialog Box

Open the DQS Cleansing Transformation Editor

  1. Add the DQS Cleansing Transformation to Integration Services package, in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).

  2. Right-click the component and then click Edit.

Set options on the Connection Manager tab

  • Data quality connection manager
    Select an existing DQS connection manager from the list, or create a new connection by clicking New.

  • New
    Create a new connection manager by using the DQS Cleansing Connection Manager dialog box. See Set the options in the DQS Cleansing Connection Manager Dialog Box

  • Data Quality Knowledge Base
    Select an existing DQS knowledge base for the connected data source. For more information about the DQS knowledge base, see DQS Knowledge Bases and Domains.

  • Encrypt connection
    Specifiy whether to encrypt the connection, in order to encrypt the data transfer between the DQS Server and Integration Services.

  • Available domains
    Lists the available domains for the selected knowledge base. There are two types of domains: single domains, and composite domains that contain two or more single domains.

    For information on how to map columns to composite domains, see Map Columns to Composite Domains.

    For more information about domains, see DQS Knowledge Bases and Domains.

  • Configure Error Output
    Specify how to handle row-level errors. Errors can occur when the transformation corrects data from the connected data source, due to unexpected data values or validation constraints.

    The following are the valid values:

    • Fail Component, which indicates that the transformation fails and the input data is not inserted into the Data Quality Services database. This is the default value.

    • Redirect Row, which indicates that the input data is not inserted into the Data Quality Services database and is redirected to the error output.

Set options on the Mapping tab

For information on how to map columns to composite domains, see Map Columns to Composite Domains.

  • Available Input Columns
    Lists the columns from the connected data source. Select one or more columns that contain data that you want to correct.

  • Input Column
    Lists an input column that you selected in the Available Input Columns area.

  • Domain

  • Standardize output
    Indicate whether to output the data in the standardized format based on the output format defined for domains. For more information about standardized format, see Data Cleansing.

  • Confidence
    Indicate whether to include the confidence level for corrected data. The confidence level indicates the extend of certainty of DQS for the correction or suggestion. For more information about confidence levels, see Data Cleansing.

  • Reason
    Indicate whether to include the reason for the data correction.

  • Appended Data
    Indicate whether to output additional data that is received from an existing reference data provider. For more information, see Reference Data Services in DQS.
