Metadata Export

You can export metadata catalog objects, shortcut objects, and data lineage diagrams. You cannot export business glossary objects.

You can export metadata objects to a PDF, HTML, or Excel file. You can export details about metadata objects. For example, you can export object properties. Use the

Export

window to export objects.

The following table describes the properties you configure when you export metadata:

Property	Description
Select a file format	Type of file to which you want to export the objects.
Select items to be included	Objects to export. Select one of the following options: Selected item. Export the object you selected. Select item and its sub-items. Export the object you selected and its child objects.
Select Information to be Included with each item	Information to include in the file for each object.

You can export a data lineage diagram as a SVG image file or as Microsoft Excel file, or you can print it. If you export to a SVG file, Metadata Manager names the file lineage.svg.

When you export to a SVG file, Metadata Manager exports the visible objects. When you export the data lineage diagram as an Excel file, Metadata Manager exports an expanded diagram. Based on the size of the diagram, Metadata Manager might take a while to export a data lineage diagram to a Microsoft Excel file. You can perform other tasks in Metadata Manager while Metadata Manager exports the diagram.
