Quantela Data Ingestion
The Quantela Data Ingestion provider is a special type of provider. It is used by inbound Adapters to store entity and event data in the Quantela platform database. This data can subsequently be retrieved by the Quantela Data Connector provider for use in adapters and datasets.
To add a Quantela Data Ingestion provider to the data flow for an adapter, drag the corresponding provider icon from the palette on the left of the studio canvas.

Enter the following settings to configure the Quantela Data provider:
Configuration | Description |
---|---|
Domain | Select an application domain from the displayed list of domains that have been configured for this deployment of the Quantela platform. |
Entity Type | Select a corresponding entity type. The list of valid entity types will depend on the domain selected above. |
Event Type | Select a corresponding event type. The list of valid event types will depend on the entity type selected above. |
Attribute Mapping | There are two ways to map data values from the adapter input to entity attributes in the Quantela platform database. The first is a tabular representation with the following columns:

To remove an attribute from the mapping, select the check-box to the left of the attribute then click the '-' icon alongside the Attribute Type heading. To edit a mapping, click on the Value and in the Attribute Schema dialog displayed, edit the following properties as required:

Raw | As an alternative to the tabular representation above, you can configure the attribute mapping manually by editing the JSON configuration. The Meta Properties and Metric Properties are represented as arrays of JSON objects, each with key, datatype and value attributes which correspond to the mapping columns above. |
General Properties | The general properties of the entity. If the ingestion type selected is entity, the options are the following:
