Mapping to a datastore outside of your organization

You can map source tables for a subscription to an external datastore.

About this task

When you are mapping to an external target datastore, the organization that owns the external target datastore must first add tables to the subscription before you can map the tables. After adding tables to the subscription, you can map tables using one of the available mapping types.

Procedure

  1. Click Configuration > Subscriptions.
  2. Select a subscription, right-click and select Map Tables.
  3. Select the mapping mode and type, depending on the number of tables you want to map and the structure of them.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Expand the database, schema, or table from the Source Tables list to view tables from your database that are available for mapping. Right-click the database user or schema and click Refresh if you do not see your table listed.

    You may be prompted to filter databases, schemas, or tables if Automatically prompt for filter when expanding nodes is enabled in your preferences. For more information see, Setting advanced preferences. To manually define a filter, select a datastore, database, or schema and click Specify Filter.

  6. Enable one or more tables to map from the Source Tables list. If you do not see your table listed, right-click the database user or schema and select Refresh.
  7. If you want to hide columns so that the target is not aware of them, select a source table and click Filter Columns. Clear the check box for the column you want to hide and click OK.
  8. Click Next.
  9. Review the mapping settings.
  10. Click Finish.
