Synchronize metadata in the Metadata Manager warehouse with the metadata in the source repositories. If the Metadata Manager warehouse does not have the latest metadata, data lineage diagrams might not appear properly. For example, you create a database table and a PowerCenter source definition. If you only load the PowerCenter repository, Metadata Manager cannot display lineage from the PowerCenter source definition to the database table.

Verify that the connection assignments for packaged and universal resources have been updated with the latest resource information.

Verify that Metadata Manager has successfully linked matching objects across metadata sources.

Data lineage analysis is not case sensitive.

A data lineage diagram only shows details for metadata objects if you configure the object types to appear in the metadata catalog. Configure preferences to select which resources in the metadata catalog and their corresponding object types that you want to view. Otherwise, the metadata object appears in the data lineage diagram but you cannot get details about the object.
