3.1 External Data Descriptor

External Data Descriptors (EDD) are definitions of specific data content from External Data Sources (EDS). Each EDS may have a number of EDDs defined against it. EDD definitions can be used for ingesting data into Financial Services Data Foundation Cloud Service for Banking or extracting data from it.

DFCS also supports the usage of control information while ingesting data into the Data Foundation. Such control information may also be defined as EDDs.

1. On the Financial Services Data Foundation Service for Banking home page, click External Data Descriptors. The Summary page is displayed.
2. Use the search functionality if you are looking for an existing EDD.
3. Click Add to configure additional EDDs. Provide a name and description, and select the Datastore. The Data, Transformation, and Control tabs appear based on your selection.
4. Click Delete to delete an existing EDD.
