Hi Team,I want to use the DQ monitoring project results component. From where do we get the  Monitoring project Id for the component?Thanks in AdvanceAnagha 

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

We have a question. The basic viewer can view the global settings and with that also a list of users. We'd rather not share this info with the basic viewer. How can we change this?

Easy question: I used to be able to use this AQL search to look up tables with specific purpose tags, but it’s no longer working with the upgrade to 14.3. Does anyone have a suggestion? Here is the AQL search I used: dataInstances.any(displayName = '[Purpose Tag]')

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

Hi everyone! This week’s last best practice post is on Monitoring Project Results Retention! Managing data retention is crucial for maintenance and security purposes. Whether you want to keep results for a specific duration or limit data storage based on the number of runs, Ataccama's Monitoring Project Results Retention feature has got you covered. Flexible Retention SettingsWith Monitoring Project Results Retention, you have the flexibility to choose how long you want to store the results of your monitoring projects. This can be defined in two ways: Per project configuration: Keep the last X runs. Remove runs after X days. Global configuration (available to power-users only) that takes precedence over project configuration: Keep the last X runs. Remove runs after X days. When global settings are configured, you'll receive notifications in the web application.For more details on configuring global settings, check out Monitoring Projects Global Retention.When Data Will Be DeletedMo

Hi Team,I have tried to create Accuracy rule for Date datatype to check whether Date is in the standard format. Accurate rule should be as follows:Standard date format is ‘MM-DD-YYYY’. If date is entered in any format other than the above mentioned (‘DD-MM-YYYY’ or ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ or ‘YYYY-DD-MM’) then it should be considered as inaccurate.When I tried using regex expression, I am getting error. Any ideas?

Is there any way that we restrict accessing the data that are imported to Ataccama Thin client ?, as we do role based access , we are able to see all others catalogue items imported into Thin Client.Such catalogue item view breach the data classification compliance which is managed in main data factory where we store the data.Anyone suggest here your thoughts to how restrict the data by giving right access / restriction while we importing the catalogue item or any measure we can take to restrict in viewing the catalogue items within Thin client w.r.t catalogue item import owner?  

How can we implement concatenation of the last 10 rows in a column?I am looking for a way of storing previous values in a variable and adding the current row value to the variable like that.

Hi everyone! In the last part of Monitoring Projects Configurations, we will talk about how to easily import configurations from one monitoring project to another, making your data quality monitoring more efficient. If you’ve missed Part 1&2 you can find them below:Import the Configuration Instead of creating a new project from scratch, you can copy the configuration of one monitoring project and apply it to another. This is particularly useful when you want to replicate settings from a testing environment to a production environment. The copied configuration includes all checks, invalid samples, reports structure, and DQ filters.To import the configuration:Navigate to the project where you want to apply the configuration.   Expand the more options menu and select Import configuration. Choose the monitoring project from which you want to copy the configuration, from the list provided. Check if the preselected catalog items are correct. You can modify the list by deleting items or

The source csv file has splitted into 13 rows for each actual row in target.By using Ataccama one desktop we would like to pivot the data by sending source 13 rows into one row in target. I am trying to implement the logic below in the Text file reader step but it's not working . v_RowNum =  iif(v_RowNum IS  NULL,0,v_RowNum+1)                    -------- Initialize v_RowNum to 0 if NULL; otherwise, increment it by 1 for each row.v_CurrentNumber =  iif(v_CurrentNumber%13= 0, v_CurrentNumber+1,  v_CurrentNumber  ).    -- Increment v_CurrentNumber by 1 for every 10 rows.GENERATED_NUMBER= v_CurrentNumber GENERATED_NUMBER INTEGER   Please  help us  to make it work in Ataccama one desktop .
