URL API Syntax without Menus and Tabs

To use the URL API, create a link to the object that you want to view from the third-party application. When you click the link, Metadata Manager displays the object details in a browser window. You can exclude the Metadata Manager menus and tabs from the browser window.

To display metadata objects in a third party application without the Metadata Manager menus and tabs, use the following syntax:

http[s]://<host name>:<port>/mm/lineage?objectPath=MM/<resource name>/
<metadata object path>/<metadata object name>&mode=<mode>

Arguments are case sensitive.

For example, to view the Address business term in the Customers category of the Sales business glossary, use the following URL:

http://MMHost:10250/mm/lineage?objectPath=MM/Sales/Customers/Address&mode=detail

The following table describes the lineage URL API arguments:
