Data Lineage by Manta

Showing 135 of 18488

Request that Manta Automatic Data Lineage add support for OAuth 2.0 authentication (e.g., service-to-service OAuth tokens or service principal OAuth flow) for Databricks connections in addition to or in place of Personal Access Tokens (PATs).

Databricks strongly recommends using OAuth access tokens instead of PATs for security, token refresh, and credential management best practices. OAuth offers stronger security and better lifecycle management than long-lived PATs, which are consider...

Differentiate Runtime and Design-Time Lineage in Manta UI

Manta currently displays lineage generated from OpenLineage RunEvent (runtime) and JobEvent (design-time) in the same way with no visual distinction between them. This makes it difficult for users to tell whether lineage represents what actually r...

Support Column-Level Lineage in Manta to Alation Export for OpenLineage

Manta can ingest column-level lineage from OpenLineage, but this details is not preserved when exporting to Alation. As a result, only table-level lineage is visible in Alation and critical attribute-level relationships are lost. We propose enhanc...

Alation Export - OAuth2 support

Alation is deprecating refresh and api tokens to use more secure OAuth2 API authentication. Manta needs to support OAuth2 for customers to keep using Manta integration with Alation.

Ability to interrupt export process to Alation

(opened as a side-effect of production incident TS020891437) Background: When Manta uploads lineage to Alation, it starts a thread on the MantaFlow server process. This is unlike extraction and analysis processes wheere there are seperate processe...

Support transformations for the OpenLineage Column Level Lineage dataset facet.

Why it is useful? Transformations are an integral part in any data flow representation. They comprise logic describing data, functions and process information that are vital for deriving lineage on an attribute. A field of an output in Column Leve...

Visually distinguish lineage added by scanners vs other means

Lineage can be added to Manta via two broad methods: 1. Via the built in scanners 2. Via API's Manta exposes (Open Manta Desinger, Open Lineage, Open Manta Extentions) There is a need to distingush between the two because: 1. It allows us to under...

DataStage - More detail in Transformation Stages

Currently, at the time of writing, Manta is not able to provide further lineage detail beyond a Direct Edge for Transformation Stages. The documentation states: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/manta-data-lineage?topic=datastage-integration-requirement...

Manta should include all core types of SAP HANA views for lineage

Why it is useful? Views are an integral part and widely used in SAP HANA applications. They comprise advanced logic describing data and hierarchies, joins, aggregations and transformations that are vital for deriving lineage. The core types of SAP...

Publish an API to access "Active Tag" import process warning log.

Refer: TS021128898 for details. Currently Manta allows adding Active Tag to table columns in Manta flow-viewer. For this we do execute a workflow with a "Open MANTA Extentions" connection and attach a CSV file which contains the list of column tha...
