Learn how SDIP validates and tracks the integrity of data flowing from source systems into the TADA platform.

Prerequisites
- Access to TADA platform tools with a Power User or Super User role
- Data sources connected and contracts configured in Organizer
- At least one published data integration run
What is SDIP?
SDIP (Source Data Integration Platform) is the TADA validation layer for data integration. It monitors and validates data as it flows from external source systems — databases, files, APIs — through Organizer contracts and into the TADA data model, detecting mismatches, schema drift, and attribute-level changes between the source and the platform.
With SDIP, you:
- Detect source-to-platform mismatches — where data at the source diverges from what the platform expects
- Track attribute-level diffs on business element properties as source schemas evolve
- Validate SDI table mappings — confirm that source table structures still align with Organizer contract definitions
- Monitor data integration status across contracts and partitions in real time
- Investigate integration failures with detailed diff reports showing exactly what changed
SDIP Interface Overview
| # | Area | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Integration Status | A summary view of all active data contracts and their current integration status — running, completed, failed, or pending. |
| 2 | SDI Table Validation | Compares the structure of source data tables against the SDI table definitions in Organizer contracts. Flags tables where the source schema no longer matches the expected structure. |
| 3 | Attribute Diff | Field-level comparison showing changes to business element attributes between the source and the platform — name changes, data type shifts, length modifications, precision/scale updates, and default value changes. |
| 4 | Mismatch Report | A consolidated report of all detected source-vs-platform discrepancies, grouped by contract and resource. Each mismatch includes the affected field, the source value, the platform value, and the change category. |
| 5 | Contract History | Historical log of integration runs per contract — execution times, row counts, status, and any validation errors encountered during each run. |
| 6 | Error Drill-Down | Click into any mismatch or error to see the full detail: which source table and column, which contract step introduced the discrepancy, and the recommended resolution. |
Key Concepts
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| SDI Table | A Source Data Integration table definition — the expected structure of a source table as defined in an Organizer contract |
| Attribute Diff | A field-level comparison showing changes to a business element's properties between the source system and the TADA platform |
| Source Mismatch | A discrepancy where data or schema at the source no longer matches the definition in the TADA platform |
| Contract | An Organizer configuration that defines how data from a source system is extracted, transformed, and loaded into the TADA data model |
| Integration Run | A single execution of a data contract — loading data from source to platform and recording the outcome |
| Schema Drift | The gradual divergence of a source system's table structure from what the TADA platform was originally configured to expect |
