The Data Reference workbook is generated by the Create Data Loading Workspace tool. It includes the paths to your source, target, and mapping workbooks. In addition to defining the locations of your datasets, the workbook allows you to select a subset of the source data to load and the option to delete a subset of the target data before loading. If the location of any of these items changes, you can manually update the paths in the workbook.
