Understanding Policies and Scheduling

Oracle Big Data Preparation Cloud Service policies let you schedule transform services to run against specific data files or directories at regular intervals.

Create, edit, run, and delete policies from the Policies page. The policies lists can be searched. Aside from the policy name, you can change all of the properties of a policy.

Run policies on a set schedule, such as on a weekly or monthly basis. You can also monitor and automatically schedule a transform when a particular event occurs, such as when new files are uploaded to a particular directory.

For each policy, specify the transform that you want to run, the Hadoop Distributed File System or Oracle Storage Cloud Service source where your data file is uploaded, and the target where the repaired or enriched data file will be published. Use either your Oracle Storage Cloud Service or Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service instance as a target.
