Support for multiple Export Resource Mapping in Open Manta Extensions Connection

In the current setup of Manta Open Manta Extensions connections, we observe a limitation with the export configuration. The OME connection provides only One field to export Custom ETL lineage to external tools like Alation.

When multiple custom ETL lineages are created and imported from Open manta designer to Manta flow viewer using OME connection, this design restricts us to mapping and exporting only one custom ETL at a time. To export additional custom ETLs, we are required to Manually update the export resource mapping in OME connection and rerun the export workflow for each Custom ETL.

This repetitive process introduces overhead, increases operational effort, and raises the risk of human error. Ideally, the OME connection should support export mapping for multiple custom ETLs.
