Initial Run
On executing the Install Run (with Complete status), the user should add and execute Initial Run to generate and apply all the Source DDL scripts (OIPA) to the Reporting Schema (Target Database) for the first time. When Initial Run is processed and executed:
- OIPA asynchronous Rest Service is invoked to get the table definitions and configuration from the Source Database (OIPA).
- The response received from OIPA is transformed to generate an object to form Target table meta data.
- From the object, Target and Staging DB scripts are created and applied to the Reporting Schema.
