Sample Metadata
BimlFlex provides several sets of sample metadata and configurations.
These samples support various common use-cases and scenarios and are intended to assist adopting specific features for certain architectures and technical environments. The full list of available samples is available in the samples documentation.
For example, samples cover how to load files using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), how to implement delete detection to load data into Azure, or how to deliver a Data Vault model on Snowflake.
In the BimlFlex Application, use the Load Sample Metadata button in the Getting Started pane on the Dashboard to load sample metadata to the current active Customer.
