Data Quality & Catalog ⚙️

Hi team!I'm trying to implement a simple maker-checker process for Business Glossary Management: there are different Data Domains, each with its own responsible: Data Steward and Data Owner. So, for each Data Domain, the corresponding Data Steward creates the term --> the corresponding Data Owner approves it. Therefore, it's essential to consider the separation of permissions by data domains.Please give me some ideas on how I can implement it in the current product version. As far as I could investigate, grouping terms by different folders/categories in the Glossary doesn't help since I can't assign any roles to a particular folder/category: I can't assign Steward1 and Owner1 to the BusinessTerms group and Steward2 and Owner2 to the SecurityTerms, for example.How should it be implemented, then? Many thanks for considering my request!

Hi,We've loaded 2000+ terms and assigned those with desktop as a migration from a data dictionary. When we now have new catalog items, Ataccama suggests 20+ terms for a CI Attribute. This is not usable.How we tweak it to:Limit to only top 5 Stop when a term is already assigned.And here's an idea: If the column header is the same or can be matched using a simple fuzzy match, that is a better indicator than most AI.Another: Please skip some of the datatypes, a boolean … probably not a good idea.Any idea's?We are also wondering if we can turn it off.Thank you in advance!Marnix

Hi I want only the valid rule names in valid_rules column for Monitoring project export. How to implement that? 

Hi, I have created a SQL Catalog item in UI however I'm trying to retrieve only 10 or so rows from the database. I am using the SELECT TOP/LIMIT clause to choose how many rows I want to retrieve both queries are having errors, I'm not sure what the problem is, does anyone have any ideas? Thank you. SELECT TOP 10 FROM x  SELECT * FROM x LIMIT 10    

Hello,everyone. When you load data into the database using Jdbc Writer and execute the plan every time, it keeps adding the same data from above. How can I overwrite the data? For instance, I have a table like this.I saved it in the database, made some changes to the table, and when I re-executed the plan, it added the changes on top. Duplicates appeared, to put it bluntly.I will be very grateful for your help Thank you!

Hi community!We are almost halfway into our Monitoring Project Best Practice series, today we are going to talk about Lifecycles 🎢Let’s dive in! Introduction to Monitoring Project LifecyclesThe introduction of Monitoring Project Lifecycles allows you to simulate a multi-environment process (Configure > Test > Send for approval > Make public, and repeat) within a single physical environment. While you can create two physical environments, the non-production environment should primarily be used for specific purposes, such as testing new sources, integration plans, model changes, and service re-configurations. It's important to note that non-production environments are not intended for developing data quality monitoring projects and migrating between environments. For the best results, we recommend having one production environment for all metadata and a non-production environment for model changes, API work, and testing. This setup differs from other modules like RDM and MDM, w

Hello Community! As part of our ongoing Data Quality Best Practice series, today we'll dive into the world of time series data analysis.Time series data analysis is a powerful tool that enables you to unlock valuable insights from your transaction data by identifying trends and detecting anomalies. To make the most of this feature, here are some best practices to follow: Understanding Transaction Data and Time Series AnalysisTransaction data encompasses internal and external events or transactions within a business, often related to financial and logistical records. Common examples include sales orders, invoices, purchase orders, shipping documents, payments, and insurance claims.The benefits of time series analysis include:Visualizing time series data. AI-driven anomaly detection.   Keep in mind that time series analysis supports columns with timestamp information, such as DATETIME, DATE, or DAY data types. Configure and Run Time Series AnalysisTo get started with time series analysis

Happy Wednesday community! The Power of Projects: A PrimerBefore you dive into the exciting world of data transformations and analysis, let's lay down the foundation: projects. Think of projects as your organized toolkit – a collection of plans, components, data files, workflows, and custom scripts, all neatly arranged within logical folders. These projects live within a workspace folder, ensuring everything is in its right place. Structuring ProjectsImagine the harmony of a well-structured project. Here's how it can look:A Glance at a Well-Structured Projectbat: Home to batch or shell scripts for triggering plans. bin: Houses DQC plans for data cleansing and deduplication. components: Stores the goldmine of component plans for main plans. data: Nurtures your data directories. ext: Contains external lookup files and replacement lists. bat: Serves batch or shell scripts to trigger plans for lookup files. build: Holds DQC plans for crafting lookups. lkp: The indexed version of looku

Hello,I’m setting a new connection for Snowflake datasource, and I need to use key pair authentication for this.In the credentials drop-down menu it doesn’t look like this option to be present:  What do you advise?

At our site we have Ataccama on premise and several sources from different data systems. It happened a couple of times that profiling on one of the sources was no longer possible and that we found that out more than a week later. After which it was difficult to track back why this happened.We do have monitoring of all kinds of Ataccama components with Prometheus. But that didn't seem to detect these issues. I was looking for a way to monitor profiling functionality.So what I came up with was a monitoring project that profiles a small table from each source, every hour.Since you can schedule a monitoring project every hour at least, and since you can add notification in case of failure, this gives us warning at most near 1 hours after something breaks.Just adding a catalog item of a table to the MP turned out not to be sufficient though. Because when the monitoring project ran, it did only a structure check, not a profile. To get it profiling, it needed an anomaly check.When you do an a

How to extract the root of JSON result which I got from GET api call from JSON CALL step .?I am able to fetch the attributes of root but I am unable to fetch the root itself .

I’d like to check if I am listing the correct steps to add a DQ rule in an existing Monitoring Project, and the order in which to take them. I am quite new to Ataccama so please excuse my ignorance. Can anyone please confirm or adjust them? Many thanks in advance! How to add a DQ ruleCheck if the rule you want to apply, already exists out of the box. For example, if you want to say a certain field cannot be empty, you can apply the predefined rule: String completeness. Other standard checks include validation of email addresses, and URLs. Go to Monitoring Project, tab Configuration & Results Choose the file you want to check (either a VCI or a Parquet File – the latter starts with PF). Choose which attribute you want to check In the 5th column, add: applied DQ checks Doublecheck whether the scoring of the rule is correct (some of the standard rules have a scoring of 0 – you might want to change that) In the upper right hand corner, choose “Publish” Run monitoring. This will take so
