Advance Scanners for SQL Scripts
Share On:
Description
Informatica Advanced Scanners are designed to extract metadata from complex and varied data sources, including SQL scripts, ETL processes, BI tools, and more. These scanners provide deep insights into data lineage and impact analysis.
We can scan SQL Scripts from Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle
- Microsoft SQL Server is a metadata source for Microsoft SQL Server scripts and Microsoft SQL Server stored procedures. In the Metadex tool, you can create and configure a metadata scanning job to extract metadata from both Microsoft SQL Server scripts and Microsoft SQL Server stored procedures.
- Oracle is a metadata source for Oracle scripts, SQL Loader scripts, and stored procedures. Oracle Autonomous Database is a SaaS implementation of Oracle Database on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In the Metadex tool, you can create and configure a metadata scanning job to extract metadata from Oracle scripts, SQL Loader scripts, and database objects, using their respective conversion paths.
Customer Pre-Requisites
To organize the scanner files, we need to create a specific directory for the scanner and within that scanner directory, three sub-directories should be created.
- Input Directory – Where we need to upload/place the input file which contains stored procedure call statements.
- Output Directory – Here scanner will generate the output file which will be loaded into the catalog.
- Variables Directory – If the SQL scripts contain any variables, you can get the variable and its associated values then upload/place the file here.
Get the connection details where these scripts are present and
Enable the Procedure calls (SQL.ProcedureCalls) scanner option. By default, this option is set to false.
