Structure-Level Information Worksheet

The Structure-Level Information worksheet contains properties for the resources and structures in a data lineage diagram.

Structures are objects in the metadata catalog or business glossary that contains fields. The structures are organized by resource name. The worksheet contains a section for each resource and the structures in that resource. The resources and structures appear in the same order that they appear in the metadata catalog or business glossary. Use this worksheet to get details about the properties of a 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.

Metadata Manager exports all properties that appear in the Details panel when you view a metadata object. The properties depend on the object type. The properties appear below the row that contains the structure.

The following table describes the properties for all structures:

Property	Description
Object Name	Name of the object in the metadata catalog or business glossary.
Business Name	Business name for the object.
Object Class	Class of the object.
Location	Location of the object in the metadata catalog or business glossary.
Description	Description for the object.
Source Creation Date	Date the metadata object was created in the metadata source system.
Source Update Date	Date the metadata object was modified in the metadata source system.
MM Creation Date	Date the object was loaded into the metadata catalog.
MM Update Date	Date the object was updated in the metadata catalog.
Endpoint	Indicates if the object is an upstream or downstream endpoint in the data lineage diagram. An endpoint indicates that the structure does not have any links to other structures or fields upstream or downstream from the current structure.
Connections	Hyperlink to the list of connections for the object in the Connections By Structure worksheet.

Use the following rules and guidelines when you view the structure-level properties:

A structure is an upstream endpoint if it meets the following conditions:

It does not have upstream connections to other structures or fields.

No field in the structure has an upstream connection to another structure or field outside of the structure.

A structure is a downstream endpoint if it meets the following conditions:

The structure does not have a downstream connection to another structure or field.

No field in the structure has a downstream connection to another structure or field outside of the structure.

PowerCenter mappings appear with the following syntax:

<mapping name> : <session name>
