Persisting

Overview

Persisting, shown as the PP icon on the dataflow diagram, represents the storage of a transformation result in a managed persisted table. Use it to see which transformation output is persisted, which table stores the result, and which package controls the load.

Function

A persisting flow connects a transformation with the persisted table that stores its result. On the dataflow diagram, the PP icon makes the persisting package or persisting relationship visible beside the related transformation and persisted table.

Persisting is used when a transformation result must be retained, reused by later processing, loaded incrementally, or handled through a controlled package.

[PP] icon

The PP icon marks the persisting package or persisting relationship on the dataflow diagram. It helps users identify where a transformation result is stored as a persisted table and which package is responsible for maintaining that persisted output.

Access

Persisting can be created from the dataflow diagram by using the context menu on a layer or eligible transformation. Existing persisting relationships are maintained from the package navigation tree.

How to access
