Integration Knowledge Modules (IKMs) and Check Knowledge Modules (CKMs)

1. Definition of IKMs and CKMs:
• Integration Knowledge Modules (IKMs) define how data is integrated into the target datastore.
• Check Knowledge Modules (CKMs) define how data integrity and quality checks are performed during the integration process.
2. Selecting IKMs and CKMs:
• Typically, one IKM and one CKM are selected for each target datastore.
• The IKM is responsible for integrating data into the target datastore.
3. Handling Staging Areas:
• If the staging area is different from the target datastore, the selected IKM can be a multi-technology IKM. This type of IKM is responsible for moving data from the staging area into the target datastore while handling integration tasks.
4. Defining or Changing IKMs and CKMs:
• To define or change the IKM and CKM, select the target datastore in the data flow diagram.
• Then, use the property inspector to configure or modify the IKM and CKM for that specific target datastore.
5. Important Note:
• Only built-in Knowledge Modules (KMs) or KMs that have already been imported into the project or the global KM list can be selected in the mapping.
• Ensure that the appropriate KMs are imported into the project before proceeding with selection.
