Assure reliability, consistency, and accuracy data from different sources to deliver value to employees and customers.
Data Quality pipelines
Pipelines define and apply transforms to data loaded by a dataset.
Reference
This section contains reference information for pipeline pages in Precisely DQ.
Data Quality Transforms
Pipeline transform settings are configured to add transformation steps in a pipeline. This reference describes the purpose of each transform and its settings that define a transformation step in a pipeline.
Search and Replace
Use Search and Replace in a pipeline to search for strings in columns and replace them with a different string.

    - Pipelines
      The table on this page lists pipelines. On this page you can create a new pipeline or edit, delete, or rename any existing pipeline.
    - Pipeline settings
      The pipeline settings page allows you to view and edit transformation steps in a pipeline.
    - Add Step
      Choose a transformation in this dialog box to add it as a step in a pipeline.
    - Data Quality Transforms
      Pipeline transform settings are configured to add transformation steps in a pipeline. This reference describes the purpose of each transform and its settings that define a transformation step in a pipeline.
      - Case Field
        Converts strings in a field into upper, lower, or title case.
      - Copy Column
        Copies a column to one or more new columns.
      - Execute Formula
        Performs operations on values and inserts the result in a new column.
      - Filter Column
        Removes selected columns from a table.
      - Get Substring
        Returns the substring from the start position to the end position. Index of the first character is 1.
      - Pad String
        Pads the beginning or end of field content with a string to a specified length. The Pad field transform does not change the value of the original string.
      - Parse Name
        This transformation parses personal and business names into their constituent parts, such as given name, surname, and titles and qualifiers.
      - Rename Column
        Renames a column in a pipeline.
      - Replace Between
        Replaces a substring between two specified characters.
      - Replace By Position
        Replaces the substring from the start position to the end position.
      - Replace Consecutive Spaces
        Replaces all instances of two or more consecutive spaces in a string field value with a single space.
      - Filter Row
        The row filter evaluates whether to include rows depending on a logical expression that evaluates to either true or false.
      - Search and Replace
        Use Search and Replace in a pipeline to search for strings in columns and replace them with a different string.
      - Split Column
        Splits a column into two new columns.
      - Standardize Date
        If a data column contains dates in different formats, use the Standardize Date transformation to convert values in all records to a single format.
      - Standardize Field
        The Standardize Field transformation applies one or more standard conversions to semantically typed fields.
      - Trim String
        Removes specified characters from the start or end of a string.
      - Verify Address
        The Verify Address transform parses, matches, and formats address data against reference postal data. A confidence level is assigned to each verified record.

- Data Connections
  Connecting to data is the first step in processing, analyzing, and storing information.

Search and Replace

Use Search and Replace in a pipeline to search for strings in columns and replace them with a different string.

Step name: Defines the name for a step. Provide a meaningful name so that anyone who edits transformation steps in a pipeline will be able to identify the purpose of a step.
Columns: Specifies columns to transform. Click to view the list of column names. Column names listed here correspond to the column names in the dataset inspection table. Click in the drop-down list to select or clear check boxes next to column names. Alternatively, click column headings in the inspection table to select or clear check boxes next to the corresponding column names in this box. To add a column to the selection, you must press the the Ctrl key when you click a column heading.; Only columns with the string data type are permitted for this transformation.
Search strings: Specifies strings to replace. For each string, type the string and press Enter. To delete a string from this box, click the delete button on the string.
Replacement: Specifies the replacement string.
