DAP Dataflow
What is this? I have found DAP Dataflow ID in the governance data. I found a magic ETL and I can see the Dataflow ID in the URL and it matches with the record. I opened all the datasets, none of them match the DAP Dataflow ID and there is nothing I can find in knowledge that explains what this is.
Anyone?

The DAP ID has been around since before partitioning. I've never been able to fully establish what it represents. My guess has always been some internal Domo ID. It'd be great if the metadata datasets came with helpful descriptions of each of the columns.

I don't think it's in use anywhere for URL or other dataflow identifiers you may have access to. The dataflow ID that we're all accustomed to is what you will use in the URL: https://yourinstance/datacenter/dataflows/42/details
I've never had an occasion that required the use of the Dataflow DAP ID in the web application or the CLI. Unless we're digging into the API, I don't think it's a useful data point where dataflow governance is concerned.

I'm not sure either - maybe something with partitions now that dataflows support partitioning?

@GrantStowell @AnnaYardley Could you loop in a technical resource from Domo to answer this?
If I solved your problem, please select "yes" above

@colemenwilson we'd be happy to! We'll look into it.

I tested accessing a dataflow by the DAP ID and it works, so it appears is a valid identifier of a dataflow.
DAP is an old acronym I recognize for Directory Access Protocol or the X.500 standard. (LDAP is a more common implementation of this these days). Here is my best guess: It's identifying a dataflow using a value that is likely a global GUID for an LDAP protocol used to keep all the objects organized. We don't use it because we don't need to when a shorter value in the context of each Domo instance will do the job.But I could be wrong.
