Attended a DI Studio Overview class today. Just a couple of tidbits for others looking to pick this product up.

Using the Propagate tool from the Process Window only propagates items between working tables/processes in the process. Variables that need to be propagated into the target tables need to be completed by going into the loader (or appropriate process) for that specific target table and adding those variables on the 'Mapping' tab.

The Custom View can not include information from multiple repositories. You can log into another metadata profile for a separate repository & custom view.

Generate metadata for Sources and then Targets. However when creating your process, move from Target down to Source.
