Adding a Discovery Source to an Advanced Space

If you have an Advanced space with a user data store (warehouse), you can quickly add a new data source without including it in the data store. You do this by specifying that the source is a Discovery source. This technique creates a hybrid model in which some data sources are in the data store and other sources are not.

To add a Discovery source to an Advanced space

1. Go to Admin - Define Sources - Data Flow. 
2. Right-click on a data source on the left and select Manage Sources. The Modify Data Source dialog opens.
3. Check the Discovery Source check box.

4. Click Save.
5. Create any necessary joins. Discovery sources can be joined to other Discovery sources and to dimension and measure warehouse tables.
