Enterprise Data Catalog

Refer to the EDC Scanner Configuration Guide for steps to create, configure, and manage resources, including required permissions and prerequisites. This guide is intended for catalog administrators. Additionally, refer to the MetaDex Scanner Administrator Guide to manage MetaDex scanners, repositories, and servers, and learn how to configure metadata extraction sources and run metadata jobs.

The video demonstrates creating a resource to extract metadata from an Oracle database and performing data profiling and domain discovery during the process. 

Classifying data is key to managing risks, compliance, and security. Explore data discovery in EDC 10.5, enable data domain discovery, and apply best practices for EDC data domains through these articles, documentation, and videos. The video is aimed at EDC users and admins to enhance their understanding of custom data domains and implementation best practices.

Use the Glossary Association feature in the catalog source to automatically associate glossary terms with technical assets or receive recommendations for manual association in EDC.

In EDC (version 10.4.0 and later), the Unique Key Discovery feature helps generate unique key candidates from columns in tabular assets, allowing you to identify data quality issues like duplicate values. You can accept or reject inferred unique key results and reset them to restore the inferred status. Review the related settings for more details.

Data Provisioning is a process of transferring data from the source to target for further analysis and processing. Read about how to enable ddata provisioning and data preview.

Custom metadata refers to metadata you define for source systems that lack default connectors in the EDC. Custom metadata integration is ingesting custom metadata from any source system into the catalog. Such source systems are called custom source systems. 

The Connection Assignment tab on the LDMAdmin page lets you assign and unassign connections and displays the list of all connections. 

If you want to look at how your data in the catalog is structured and wish to explore data by asset types, you can do so from the Browse page. Here, you can access both business and technical assets.When you browse an asset, you can easily drill down to see child assets that are associated with the asset. 

The relationship discovery capability in catalog sources identifies similar columns and relationships between tables within a catalog source. Learn about settings, Similarity Profiling, Similarity Profile and Value Frequency, Similarity Discovery Strictness Levels, and the overall Similarity Discovery process.

Refer to the Informatica® Enterprise Data Catalog REST API Reference for the commands you can use to perform tasks in Enterprise Data Catalog. The reference includes use cases and sample APIs.

This REST API Starter Guide is designed for users with basic knowledge of REST APIs, programming, and Enterprise Data Catalog (EDC) concepts. It focuses on common activities to help you get started with EDC's REST API, enabling you to write utilities and applications based on EDC. This guide does not cover every possible activity with EDC’s REST API.

The webinar is aimed at EDC users looking to extract or enrich assets, utilizing the APIs to achieve end-to-end automation.

Informatica EDC offers robust lineage and impact analysis capabilities that are crucial for understanding data flows, ensuring data quality, and managing data governance. Learn all about viewing lineage and impact tasks.

Learn about Custom Lineage in Enterprise Data Catalog (EDC), including how to conduct a proof of concept (POC) for custom lineage and create column-level lineage using the custom lineage scanner. Additionally, explore custom resource and lineage automation techniques. 

Also, watch how to build an IDQ framework, extract lineage from a CSV file, and create EDC input files to run metadata and lineage scanners, showcasing lineage in EDC.
