    Hello Vamshi,

    we have the ability to export lineage (and the assets that you can see in the lineage tree together with it) planned for 2026 - I will share more information once we set a more precise timeline.

    Best Regards,

    Hello Jakub Moravec
    Restating the request in different focus: The business need is to have an ability to pull back the full lineage tree of an entire connection. Where we want to review for a given connection like to a particular GBQ Project, what schemas exist in this project, and its dependencies, what assets exist in each schema, what are its dependencies and lineage information? We want the entire lineage tree of assets rooted at the connection.

    Hello Jakub Moravec

    We would like to request an enhancement for how to retrieve the full Lineage information including upstream and downstream relationships for given connection using API endpoints.

    Hi Jakub, users are looking for an API(s) that allows view and downloading lineage from IBM Manta Data Lineage. Something similar as Data > Data lineage > View lineage tab to view lineage from CPD UI.

    Hi Tilak,

    can you please provide more context for this request? What technology are you trying to scan, and what APIs have you attempted to use (if any)?

    Thank you
