Overview of objects related to integration tasks

The Related Objects page displays information about objects associated with the current integration task, including input objects, output objects, dependent objects, and downstream tasks. You can view these related objects and perform management operations on this page.

• Input objects

  Input objects are the table objects that input components provide in integration tasks, which the current task references and reads. The list displays the table name, Chinese table name, and table type. You can filter associated input tables by table type, which includes logical dimension tables, logical fact tables, logical aggregate tables, data source objects, and physical tables. Click the Actions column icon for an input object to view its details.

• Output objects

  Output objects are the table objects generated by output components in integration tasks and referenced by the current task. The list displays the table name, Chinese name, and table type of each object. You can enter keywords from the object name to search for associated output tables. Click the icon in the Actions column of an output object to view its details.

  Note

  Only tables that exist in the Dataphin asset catalog can be written to by a task. Tables in external data sources written to by an integration task cannot be listed as output tables for that task.

• Dependent objects

  These are objects on which the current task depends, such as public calendars and global variables.

  • Public Calendar: The Public Calendar List displays the public calendar objects associated with the current task, such as calendar code, calendar name, and reference method information. Click the Actions column icon to view its details.

  • Global Variables: The Global Variables List displays the global variable objects associated with the current task, such as the variable code and variable name. You can click the Actions column icon to view its details.

• Downstream tasks

  Downstream tasks are integration tasks and logical tables that directly depend on the current task, using it as an upstream dependency. The list displays the downstream node name/ID, node type, referenced parameters, , associated project/module, scheduling cycle, and owner information. You can click to filter downstream tasks by node type, referenced parameters, node project/module, , scheduling cycle, and O&M owner. Click the icon in the Actions column of a downstream task to view its details.
