What is a Multi-Source Data Vault?

The Data Vault design can be sourced from more than just one source system.
Which leads to the generation of the Hubs, Links to have multiple source mappings, and having (in addition) separate Satellites for each source system.

How to design a Multi-Source Data Vault in 3D?

  1. Supplements a designed entity.
  2. Create a source mapping set for the source system (Use a clear name like the source connection for documentation).
  3. Add sources to the source mapping set.

It may be beneficial to use the Add source mappings wizard to quickly add new sources in bulk, but only if…

  • The comparison of the source and design by name for exact matches.
  • Referencing an existing source mapping set and comparing the source and source mapping set's sources by name for exact matches.
