Show table relationship on relationship Explorer graph

On relationship graph there are many possible ways to look for relationships. But a data asset to data asset relationship that comes from foreign keys is not natively shown. To create that bond by now it is necessary to manually create each relationship. This is a loss of time if we already have relationship information.

    Hi Ivan,

    Normally this functionally should surface relationship in Relationship Explorer view, please see the reference screenshot. Is it something that you can report via support ticket and provide relevant details and logs?

    Hi Marcus, thanks for your message!

    I suspect this will happen with any connection. In my case is a "IBM watsonx.data Presto", and a Data Source Definition was used. After enriching and executing relationship analysis, FK relationships are identified, but they don't appear on relationship explorer. To make a line appear between 2 "Data" items on Relationship Explorer it is necessary to manually create a relationship "is referenced by" to another Data Asset (no foreign key asset)

    Hi Ivan,

    Can you confirm the connection type you are using for data assets? Are they platform connections or data source definitions?

    thank you
