Configure your script - Using Datasets

What is a dataset?

When executing a script, the engine takes a set of input parameters and performs a single (set of) operation(s) which generates a technical outcome. This set of input parameters or data can be stored in a datafile and can be called upon during the execution of our script. This pre-defined data can come from any data file supported by the framework, and be referred to using its label during the script design

Next to feeding our intelligent engine with input data, the framework also offers to opportunity to capture the outcome or results and store it back in an output dataset.

How to create a dataset?

A dataset consists out of:

• data: consists information on the the input parameters (e.g. key-value pairs)
• metadata: consists information on the config (e.g. environment, labels, etc.)
