Package Summary

Package Summary

When you load an SQL Server Integration Services resource, Metadata Manager displays a summary of each package in the metadata catalog and in the data lineage diagram. The package summary includes the source and target data sources for each data flow in the package.
When you run data lineage on a summary, Metadata Manager displays the source and target data sources and the lineage links between them. Metadata Manager does not display individual transformations in the lineage diagram or in the metadata catalog. Metadata Manager also does not display columns that are added by transformations in the data flow.
For example, a package contains one data flow with a Derived Column transformation followed by a Conditional Split transformation. The data flow reads data from the PERSON table in a relational database. It writes data to the EMAIL_PROMO and NO_EMAIL_PROMO tables in a different database.
When you expand the data flow summary in the data lineage diagram, the diagram displays the following objects:
  • The OLE DB source connection object that contains the PERSON table.
  • The OLE DB destination connection object that contains the EMAIL_PROMO and NO_EMAIL_PROMO tables.
You can expand the connection objects to display lineage links between the tables. Metadata Manager does not display the two transformations in the lineage diagram.
