Data Lineage Overview

Data Lineage Overview

You can view data lineage for objects in the Metadata Manager warehouse. Data lineage shows the origin of the data, describes the path, and shows how it arrives at the target. Use data lineage to analyze data flow and troubleshoot data transformation errors. You can view the data lineage diagram as HTML 5.
Metadata Manager can trace the data path when a network of applications share and transform the same set of data. It uses the metadata that applications store for each transformation procedure to determine how each application moves or transforms data. It displays this information in a data lineage diagram.
Metadata Manager can show data lineage for objects in one or more resources. You can view data lineage for the following object types:
  • Tasks
  • Transformations
  • Data structures
  • Fields
  • Reports
  • Business terms
