    Support lineage deletion in Open Manta Designer

    Currently, Open Manta Designer does not provide functionality to delete lineage that was generated using the native Manta scanner. This creates challenges in managing and maintaining lineage data, especially when test or obsolete lineage needs to ...

    Support lineage extraction from IBM Connect Direct

    IBM Connect Direct is used widely at our organization to move data between several systems. If Manta is able to extract details of which data files are being moved, (given that the structure of the files are provided to Manta via other means - IFP...

    Lineage Support for IBM I-series - AS/400

    Manta support for SAP Business Objects (BO) 4.3 SP4

    Support running multiple workflows at the same time

    Current State: Manta currently does not allow running multiple workflows at the same time. However only writing and reading from Neo4j cannot happen at the same time. Therefore a lot of the steps that Manta can run in parallel, such as extraction,...

    Provide a utility to find any orphaned nodes in the graph database

    Background: Sometimes, due to failed upgrades, workflows interrupted while running, Manta crashes, etc - there will be orphaned nodes in Manta. These cause problems when we try to export lineage from Manta to other tools such as Alation. The follo...

    SAS: Do not scan/show files containing macros and other functions

    Background: SAS code is organized in several files. For example driver.sas and driver2.sas files both call child.sas, which then calls grandchild.sas. When Manta is asked to scan the codebase, it will show the code in grandchild.sas 4 times, once ...

    SAS: Support PROC RANK

    Background: When Manta (42.13) comes across SAS code that uses PROC RANK, it ignores that block of code and does not draw lineage for that block. For example, when this code is used: proc rank data=T_NOT_98_&mth. TIES=DENSEout=T_NOT_98_1_&...
