Publish a Dataset as a Prism Data Source Manually

Publish a Dataset as a Prism Data Source Manually

  • Security:
    Prism Datasets: Publish
     domain in the Prism Analytics functional area.
This section describes how to publish a dataset immediately on an ad hoc basis.
  1. Access the
    View Dataset Details
     report for the dataset you want to publish.
  2. Click
    Publish
    , or from the related actions menu, select
    Publishing
    Publish Dataset
    .
    Workday:
    • Reads the source data in the dataset.
    • Transforms the source data using the transformation logic defined in the dataset.
    • Creates a Prism data source and loads it with the transformed data. The Prism data source has the same name as the dataset API name.
    • Applies the appropriate security restrictions to the data.
  3. View the publishing process status from the
    Publishing Activities
     tab on the
    View Dataset Details
     report.
    Refresh the browser to see the most current status. The status includes the date and time that Workday last published the dataset successfully. The last successful published date informs you about the freshness of the data in the Prism data source. Example: If the last successful publish date is 1 week ago, but your publishing schedule is set to publish daily, this discrepancy could indicate a failure in the publishing process.
    You can also view the status of manually run publish requests in the
    Prism Activities Dashboard
     report or the
    Process Monitor
     report.
  4. (Optional) You can cancel the publishing process by clicking
    Cancel Publishing
     on the
    View Dataset Details
     report.
You can view the Prism data source by accessing the
View Prism Data Source
 report, and selecting the name of the dataset you published.
