Core + Security Attributes - Bulk Update

Select and export the attribute metadata to a .csv file, edit in a spreadsheet like Google Sheets or Excel, then perform a bulk update for core and security attribute metadata in DataPancake.

Ensure you have completed Attribute Metadata Bulk Updates (Security) - Setup

1. Open a new Snowflake worksheet

2. Run a select statement for DATAPANCAKE.CORE.VW_DATASOURCE_ATTRIBUTE_SECURITY

The minimum field requirements to select are attribute_id, polymorphic_version_id - for example:

select ATTRIBUTE_ID, POLYMORPHIC_VERSION_ID
from datapancake.core.vw_datasource_attribute_security
where version_status = 'active';

Select statement for security updates where source data type is an array

select

where version_status = 'active' 
and SOURCE_DATA_TYPE != 'array'
order by attribute_path;

You can choose which editable fields you wish to include in your select statement.

3. Verify the query successfully returns a list of attribute metadata

4. Download the results as a .csv file

5. Open the .csv file in either Excel or Google Sheets

6. Edit any editable columns as needed

7. Save (Excel) or download (Google Sheets) the file

8. Load the .csv into your stage

9. Run the bulk update stored procedure

When the stored procedure completes, the attribute metadata file will be moved to the archive folder.

call <database>.<schema>.sp_update_datapancake_attribute_metadata_security(
    '@<stage_name>/<staged_filename>.csv',
    '@<stage_name>/<archive_folder>/',
    '<snowflake_username>'
);

10. Verify the integration completed successfully by running the following query

select * from datapancake.core.vw_integration_process
where user_name = 'BWOLFF'
order by integration_process_date desc;
