Task - Source Component - Entities and Referential Data
The Business entities & referential data option enables to extract Business entities from a source environment. The user can select tables related to the Business entities. This is the default option.
The following information needs to be set for Entities & referential data:
Business entity
The task's BE. Select a BE from the drop-down list of all the TDM BEs. The Advanced setting is optional and it enables a partial selection of the systems or the LUs in the task. When clicking Advanced, a pop-up window opens with the selected BE's systems and LUs. Note that if the selected source environment does not contain all the BE's systems and LUs, the TDM portal automatically removes the LUs that are not included in the source environment and gives a warning to the user.
Source environment
Select one TDM environment from the drop-down list. The drop-down list displays the list of available source environments for the user. Only environments that contain systems with the select task's BE are displayed. If the source environment is defined as containing sensitive data in the Environment window, the TDM task window displays a message that the sensitive data is masked.
Policy for fetching data
This setting defines whether the data needs to be extracted from the source environment or whether it can be retrieved from the Test Data Store (Fabric). The following options are available:
Available data from the Test data store, new data from [source environment name] - this is the default option. When it is selected, new entities will be synced from the source environments. Entities that are already stored in the Test Data Store will be taken from the Test Data Store, unless the sync policy - defined in the LU implementation - states that they need to be synced from the source environment.
All data from [source environment name] - always sync the data from the source environment.
Available [source environment name] data in the Test data store - get the data from the Test Data Store, if exists (extracted from the source environment by previous task executions).
Selected snapshot (version) - get a selected data snapshot (version) created in the Test Data Store by previous task executions.
Notes:
- Options 1 and 2 are not available if the source environment is set with Do not Sync option.
- Option 2 (always sync) is available only for permitted users.
- The task execution does not access the source environment directly when options 3 or 4 are selected.

Referential tables
Check this checkbox to add related tables to the task's entities:
Note that the list of available tables must be defined in the TDM implementation.
