DataWorks can generate sample libraries based on the sample files that you provide. You can associate a sample library with a data identification rule to identify data. If the data to be identified contains the data in the sample library, the data to be identified hits the data identification rule. You can use sample libraries to identify enumerated values, such as employee names and user addresses. This topic describes how to create and manage sample libraries.

Create a sample library
After you create a sample library, you can associate the sample library with a data identification rule. If the data to be identified contains the data in the sample library, the data to be identified hits the data identification rule. For more information about how to associate a sample library with a data identification rule, see Set data identification rules.
Manage sample libraries

- View the sample libraries.
You can view the number of samples in and the data identification rules associated with each existing sample library. To view the details of a sample library, find the sample library and click the
icon in the Actions column.
- Edit a sample library.
Find the sample library that you want to edit and click the
icon in the Actions column. You can upload a new sample file or replace existing sample files.
- Delete a sample library.
To delete a sample library, find the sample library and click the
icon in the Actions column.
Note If the sample library is associated with a data identification rule, you cannot delete the sample library. You can view the data identification rule that is associated with the sample library on the Sample Management tab. Before you delete the sample library, you must disassociate the sample library from the data identification rule on the configuration page of the data identification rule. For more information about how to configure a data identification rule, see Set data identification rules.
