Lineage

Data lineage represents the complete lifecycle of data as it moves from source to destination. It involves the collection of metadata that describes how data is created, transformed, and utilized across systems. This capability ensures transparency, trust, and governance in data environments.

Manual Lineage

Manual lineage enables the construction of data flow mappings through direct user input. This approach is suitable for specific or custom scenarios that require manual configuration.

Steps to Establish Manual Lineage:

• Navigate to a specific table or go to the lineage maintenance section.

• Add the source and destination tables based on the requirements.

Auto Lineage

Auto lineage traces data flow automatically using system logic. It reduces manual work and improves accuracy.

Steps to Establish Auto Lineage:

• Connection Configuration: Select the auto lineage option during connector setup, based on the license type.

• Metadata Crawling: Execute crawling for procedures, triggers, functions, source code, and views to collect required metadata.

• The lineage build process begins from the connectors page by selecting the 9-dots option and choosing "Build Auto Lineage." This opens the auto lineage page, where lineage can be built using five different methods.
