Data Lineage Diagram Tab

Data Lineage Diagram Tab

The data lineage diagram displays a visual representation of the data flow and information about the objects involved in the data flow. When you run data lineage analysis on a metadata object or a business term, Metadata Manager displays the data lineage diagram on a separate tab.
The following image shows the data lineage diagram tab:
  1. Task bar
  2. Diagram panel
  3. Details panel
The data lineage diagram tab contains the following sections:
Task bar
Perform data lineage tasks such as switching between the summary and detail views, finding objects, selecting objects, scanning the diagram, zooming in and out, and panning the diagram.
Diagram panel
View the data lineage diagram and view information about objects in the diagram. The data lineage diagram shows the direction of data flow from left to right. Metadata Manager marks the source object, which is the object from which you generate the diagram, with a star icon.
To view information about an object, hover the pointer over the object. The information that Metadata Manager displays when you hover over an object varies based on the object type.
Details panel
View details about the selected object in the diagram. By default, Metadata Manager displays the object definition in the Details panel. The object definition includes metadata details such as the object properties, related terms, links, comments, related catalog objects, and impact summary.
The Details panel includes a toolbar that you can use to perform the following tasks:
  • Display the object definition or audit trail information for the selected object.
  • Refresh the object definition or audit trail information.
  • View data lineage for the selected object.
  • Show a selected object in the metadata catalog or the Glossary view.
  • Create a shortcut for the selected object.
