Effective in version 10.5, the Informatica Similarity Discovery resource includes the following changes:
Create Informatica Similarity Discovery resource
You can create the Informatica Similarity Discovery resource from the
Resource
tab under the
Informatica Platform
resource group. When you run the resource, the scanner discovers similar columns based on column name, column data pattern, unique values in the resource. Previously, the Informatica Similarity Discovery was available as a system resource.
Persist computed information in PostgreSQL database
Enterprise Data Catalog persists the computed information about similar columns, column patterns, and unique values in PostgreSQL database. Previously, Enterprise Data Catalog persisted the computed information about similar columns in Apache Hbase.
Discover similar columns
Enterprise Data Catalog discovers similar columns based on column name, column data pattern, and unique values in the resource. Previously, an internal system job discovered similar columns based on column name, column data pattern, unique values, and value frequency in the resource.
