Creating a custom technical lineage

This topic is an overview of steps to create a custom technical lineage.

Before you begin

• Set up the latest lineage harvester.
• To stitch the data objects of your data sources with Data Catalog assets, prepare the Data Catalog physical data layer for technical lineage. When you prepare the Data Catalog physical data layer, you must register your data sources in Data Catalog and use a structure that matches the structure of ingested assets in Data Catalog.
• Determine whether you want to create a simple or advanced custom technical lineage.

Requirements and permissions

• A global role with the following global permissions:
  • Manage all resources
  • System administration
• A resource role with the following resource permission on the community level in which you created the BI Data Catalog domain:
  • Asset: add
  • Attribute: add
  • Domain: add
  • Attachment: add

Steps

1. Create a custom technical lineage JSON file.
2. Configure the lineage harvester for the custom technical lineage.
3. Run the lineage harvester.
