External Request Scenarios that Create Information Steward-initiated Requests
NOTE: Information Steward (IS) is SAP’s software for data profiling and metadata management. The Information Steward Accelerator by Back Office Associates® (ISA) extracts data that failed IS rules, then distributes the data to groups of users via reports.
An external request scenario can be configured to remediate failed data from IS reports using dspCompose™. Refer to Create a Request in dspCompose™ From the ISA Report Data Viewer Page for more information.
During the request creation process, the report data is copied to a staging table where dspCompose™ maps the columns and runs any custom rules (registered as template-level events) on the data. The data is then moved to the Data Entry table for the dspCompose™ template, and can be corrected by the first Data Entry role to begin the request posting process.
To use this type of external request scenario:
- Run rules in IS. Refer to Information Steward documentation for more information.
- Configure the ISA to distribute failed data to users in project distributions. Refer to Work with Projects for more information.
- Create an External Request Scenario for an Information Steward-initiated Request in dspCompose™.
- Map Columns from the Template to Columns from the ISA Report.
- Create Custom Rules for Information Steward-initiated Requests, if needed.
The request is automatically created and dspCompose™ sends a notification to the user assigned to the first Data Entry role for the template. At this point, the request moves through the request process normally.
