9.1 About Data Flows

A data flow defines how the data is moved and transformed between different systems.

A data flow in Data Transforms connects sources to targets through a flow of components such as Join, Filter, Aggregate, Set, Split, and so on. See Supported Database Functions for more information.

When you run a data flow, Data Transforms uses the joins, filters, mappings, and constraints to transform source data and load it to target tables. Note that you can run only one execution flow at a time. You cannot put multiple flows on a Data Flow and a flow cannot diverge into multiple flows.
