Technical lineage export types

If you want to share a technical lineage graph or the transformation logic of your technical lineage, you can export the information to PDF, PNG and CSV via the Settings tab pane.

PDF and PNG exports

The PDF and PNG exports only show the technical lineage graph of the selected table or column.

CSV export

The CSV export shows the transformation logic from the sources to the targets in your technical lineage.

The CSV export is a ZIP file with the following CSV files:

File name	File content
current_graph_column_lineage.csv	The transformation logic of the selected column or table.
full_batch_column_lineage.csv	The transformation logic of the full technical lineage.
full_indirect_constants.csv	The list of columns that are compared to any constant that is within the scope of the export. Warning This file is deprecated and will no longer be included in future versions of Collibra.

Example

The current_graph_column_lineage CSV file and the full_batch_column_lineage CSV files show the same information, but with a different scope. These files show how data flows from source to target.

No	Column	Description
	source_system	The name of the source system. Note This column is only shown when `useCollibraSystemName` is set to `true` in the lineage harvester configuration file.
	source_database	The name of the source database.
	source_schema	The name of the source schema.
	source_table	The name of the source table.
	source_column	The name of the source column.
	target_system	The name of the target system. Note This column is only shown when `useCollibraSystemName` is set to `true` in the lineage harvester configuration file.
	target_database	The name of the target database.
	target_schema	The name of the target schema.
	target_table	The name of the target table.
	target_column	The name of the target column.
	procedure_name	The name of the stored procedure. This column remains empty when an object in your technical lineage doesn't have stored procedure. Warning This column is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
	query_name	The name of the specific source code fragment or transformation detail. You can use this name to search for more information in the Sources tab page.

Tip The names of the source and target objects indicate the full path of the object. For example, the full name of a column is (system) > database > schema > table > column. This path is used to stitch your technical lineage objects to assets in Data Catalog.
