Analyzing a Profile
After a profile is created and listed in the Profiles tab, you can send it for analysis. The profile is analyzed based on the rules selected for it and a report gets displayed on the Data Profiling Results page. The report can also be sent directly to the targeted users if you specify this on the Add Profile page and you can also download it as a PDF document.
The profile analysis can be run as a one time activity or a recurring event by scheduling the recurrence in the Add Schedule page. You can also start analysis directly from the Profiles tab. In all these cases the analysis is run and the status displayed on the Profiles and the History tab.When
a profile starts getting analyzed, a unique ID is assigned to it, which is displayed
on the History tab. For more information, see Viewing Analysis History.

Profiles tab, perform these steps:Note: If the same profile is sent for
analysis multiple times, every analysis is assigned a different ID.
