Selecting Columns in Your Blending Configuration

Select the columns to be used in a data blend.

To select columns in a blending configuration:

1. In the Blending Configuration dialog box, select the Column Selection tab.
2. Select the check boxes next to the columns of each data file that you’ve added to your blend.
   Note that you can’t deselect columns that you use as blend keys.
3. Click Submit.
   Your blend configuration is saved and the blend of two data files begins in the service cluster.

   Note that an asterisk appears on the blending drop-down list and a green banner notifies you that the blend has started. When the relationship discovery engine completes the blend, the asterisk on the blending drop-down list disappears, a blue banner notifies you that the blend is complete, and you can then go to the resulting blended file.
