Hi I want to fetch the relationship between a attribute and the corresponding term items in one desktop ( Not Business term, might be kpi or lobs) any idea how to fetch those relationships? I tried using termInstance entity in one desktop but its only fetching business term related information.
I have tagged the KPIs like normal business terms and those can be visible in the glossary term section of attributes. Appreciate some help on this

Hi ​@rmukherjee34, if I understand you correctly you have linked catalog item attributes to for instance KPI's. The KPI's are implemented in the metamodel as a so-called extension of ‘term’ (hence it shows as a term type in the glossary section). That also means that you should be able to capture the link with the catalog item attribute via entity termInstance in Desktop. Apparently you don't see the relations that way. What do you mean with ‘tagging the KPI's like normal business terms'?

Kind regards,

Albert

Hi Albert,
By tagging the KPIs like normal business term i meant, is tagging the KPIs as a term which i am able to do but unfortunately nothing apart from business term type is coming in the termInstance entity
For Example, This is screenshot where an attribute is tagged with 3 terms(1 business term, 1 line of business which is again a term, and 1 KPI which parent entity is term) but unfortunately i am only able to see the business term in the termInstance entity.
Also while using the entity type as “term”  i am able to see the list of all the terms (Including the KPIs and all) on the other hand when using the termInstance Entity type in the metadata reader i am getting only the Business Terms.

Hi ​@rmukherjee34 , with what you show I would also expct to see all three instances.

Is it possible to share your plan, so I can have a closer look?

Kind regards,

Albert

Hi Albert, so the plan is pretty simple 
1. I am fetching the KPIs using the KPI entity, and now want to join it with catalog items(attributes)
2. Now while fetching the KPIs not the id nor the Parent Id is matching with the attribute ids and also the terminstance attribute is fetching only the business terms as discussed.
I am attaching the screenshot for the metadata model and the plan which will help in better understanding.
