This section will refer to the Reference Data Management dashboard found on the Desktop and all relevant materials and functions associated with the dashboard. The Reference Data Management dashboard will allow you to do the following:

Query the results from a table based on the Reference Data Management profiles in the system
Filter certain results by using expressions in your query
Insert new rows in your table
Edit existing fields in your query results
Import data from a CSV file
Export the entire table or queried result into a CSV file

You can access the dashboard from the Manage View. Go to Manage → Data Management and then select Reference Data Management.

Note!

Temporary files are created on the Platform host when the user executes queries via Reference Data Management. These temporary files, stored in $MZ_HOME/tmp/rowset, are removed automatically when the user session expires. Users sessions expire automatically after six (6) hours.

For Oracle Database Users!

For Oracle database, the CLOB datatype is not supported by the Reference Data Management. You will be unable to view the contents of a CLOB datatype.

When you click on the Reference Data Management button a page will appear that looks like this.

Query Result View

Once you have gotten a query result, the status bar above the toolbar will display query configuration information. The status bar summary will contain selected Reference Data Profile and Table, and if Last Update feature is enabled, the most recent Last Update user and datetime. Click on the status bar to reveal the list of query expressions applied for the query result.

Subject to user permission settings that is configured via the Reference Data Profile and Access Controller, appropriate table toolbar buttons will be enabled above the query result view. This bar allows you to select from the operations that you will want to use Reference Data Management for, such as Query, searching for specific data in the columns, Insert Row, Refresh, Export, Import and Delete.

At the bottom of the view, you get the Previous Data Set and Next Data Set buttons at the footer bar to switch between data sets. The footer also displays data set information and the total of rows for the entire query result. The data set buttons and information are only available if the query result total rows exceeds the Data Set Size(configurable in the Query dialog).
