Overview

The Refresh New Used Sources feature in AnalyticsCreator scans all transformations, packages, and manually entered source references to detect any tables or views that are used but not yet fully registered. If such objects are found, this function automatically imports their metadata—including columns, data types, and key information—from the connected source system. This ensures all used sources are properly tracked in the metadata repository.

When and Why to Use This Feature

  • After referencing tables directly in transformations without using the Import Source function
  • When copying or reusing packages from other projects
  • Before deployment, to ensure that all used source tables are fully defined

How to Use the Refresh New Used Sources Function

  1. Go to the Toolbar in the main application window
  2. Select the Tools Menu
  3. Click on Refresh New Used Sources
  4. Wait for the scan to complete and new sources to be added
  5. Review the Sources List to verify newly imported metadata
