Connections By Structure Worksheet

Connections By Structure Worksheet

The Connections By Structure worksheet contains the source and target connection properties for each structure in a data lineage diagram. It includes the structures and fields to which each structure and its corresponding fields are connected in the diagram. The worksheet contains a section for each resource and a section for each structure in the resource. The connection properties include the source and target field connections for each structure. The resources and structures appear in the same order as the metadata catalog or business glossary. Use this worksheet to view the connections for each structure in a data lineage diagram.
The properties for each resource in the worksheet depend on the resource type. For example, Oracle resource properties include resource name, resource type, and schema name. Each structure section contains a hyperlink to the structure properties on the Structure-Level Information worksheet.
The following table describes the properties for each connection in the worksheet:
