Setting Up Data Source

Before you can set up the data source, you should identify the data that you require for analytics. For this purpose, you create a search definition in PeopleSoft Search Framework.

For information on creating a search definition, see Creating Search Definitions.

Access the Data Source Definition page by navigating to PeopleTools > Machine Learning > Data Distribution Framework > Data Distribution Setup and select Data Source (under the Definition folder in the left panel). Alternatively, you can navigate to PeopleTools > Machine Learning > Data Distribution Framework > Define Data Sources.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Data Source Definition page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Data Source Definition page

The Data Source Definition page displays a list of data sources that you have set up. Use the Source drop-down list to identify the data source that you require.

To add a new data source, select the Add Data Source button. Use the Data Source Details page to enter details of a new data source.
