Description

Enhancement Request: Implement Ability for Data Editor Profiling of Unapplied and "On Disk" Data.

Summary

WIth the investigation of the data profiler and which data is the target, it appears to be useful for the data editor to provide functionality to profile both unapplied data changes in the editor and current data on disk.

Proposed Solution / Description

Have an input available in the profiler to select which "data target" to profile. If the target is current unapplied data changes then the extension shall provide profiling of such data via Omega Edit API calls. For on disk data, the extension shall query on disk data and profile the profiling data to the UI.
