Before your onboarding begins, as a quick reminder, here is a video about the brief overview of the Lyftrondata platform: This video covers a quick demo to load the data from Odata service into Snowflake with easy steps to help our first-time users with Lyftrondata process knowledge.
Step1: Create a source connection to fetch the data from OData.
Step2: Create a target connection to load the data into Snowflake.
Step3: Create a data source for Odata connection under the Source section and import the tables.
Step4: Create a data target for Snowflake under the Target section.
Step5: Migrate data from Odata source into Snowflake target by creating the pipelines.
Step6: Monitor the loads.
Step7: Validate the loads by running the query from the Snowflake database under Analyze section.
