The following table describes the basic steps to follow when building and running an integration.

Step

Description

Step 1

Create an integration that contains the source and destination information. You can either define a new integration or use an existing integration. For more information, refer to Chapter 4, “Creating integrations.”

Step 2

Add a source, which indicates where information for the integration originates. For more information, refer to Adding sources.

Step 3

Create query relationships (if necessary). If you are using more than one text or ODBC source to provide information for the integration, you need to create relationships between the source queries. For more information, refer to Creating query relationships.

Step 4

Select the destination for the extracted source information. For more information, refer to Adding a destination.

Step 5

Create destination mappings which indicate where each item in the integration destination originates. For more information, refer to Creating mappings.

Step 6

Save the integration. You should save the integration periodically as you build it.

Step 7

Run the integration to bring data into your selected destination, For more information, refer to Running integrations.

Step 8

Examine the integration results after the integration has finished running. For more information, refer to Evaluating integration results.
