Historization

Overview

Historization, shown as the HP icon on the dataflow diagram, represents a time-aware history flow for a table. Use it to review which table is historized, which history table stores the changing records, and which package maintains the history load.

Function

A historization flow connects a table with its history table and the package that executes the history load. On the dataflow diagram, the HP icon makes the historization package or historization relationship visible beside the connected table and history table.

The historization flow helps users review where historical data is captured, which package owns the load, and how the current table connects to its history table.

[HP] icon

The HP icon marks the historization package or historization relationship on the dataflow diagram. Double-click the HP icon or historization marker to open the historization definition when the marker represents an existing historization relationship.

Access

Historizations are available from the navigation tree, from ETL list views, and from the dataflow diagram. On the diagram, historization can be created from a table node and reviewed through the HP icon, historization marker, current table, history table, and directional flow.
