ONE Desktop: Component Steps Part 2️⃣Best Practice

Happy Wednesday Community! We are halfway into the week and ready with Part 2 of Component Steps. If you have missed Part 1 don’t worry, check it out on the link below 🔽 In the second part of our journey into Component Steps, we will delve deeper into their creation, configuration, parameter mapping, running from the command line, and working with nested components. Creating a ComponentBuilding a component step is akin to constructing a plan, but certain rules dictate its placement within a plan: At the Beginning: A component at the start of a plan should commence with an input step connected to actual data, not Integration Input. In the Middle: For components in the middle of a plan, they must have at least one input endpoint with Integration Input and one output endpoint with Integration Output. At the End: Components concluding a plan must start with an input endpoint with Integration Input and conclude with an output step that isn't Integration Output (ensuring data is written

Export Data Quality results

Eventually, you might need all your data quality results evaluated in One monitoring projects or within regular catalog items (via business terms and related DQ rules) exported to some reporting system or into excel. And it would be nice if it looked like this:  TLDR; There are 2 components attached you can use to export DQ results, one for monitoring projects, another one for regular catalog items. Monitoring ProjectsThe idea is to read all monitoring projects metadata, join it with their check results as well as rules names, catalog item names and voilà, we can save it to excel/csv or to some database table.It sounds like something very simple, and indeed there is no black magic, but nonetheless component looks a bit more elaborated: Catalog Items DQ (based on Term evaluations)The idea is to find all catalog items that have aggregated overall data quality and join them with the DQ rules results:This component has a bit simpler implementation:  Of course, the output of the components

ONE Desktop: Data Quality Scoring 🧮

Happy Monday Community! We are continuing our ONE Desktop best practices series this week as well! Today on the menu is - DQ Scoring!Data quality scoring is a vital process in Ataccama Desktop, enabling you to assess data quality based on specific rules and assign a numerical score. This score helps differentiate between high-quality and low-quality records, making it an essential step in data processing.Here are the best practices for data quality scoring in Ataccama Desktop:1. Categorize Scoring into Four LevelsTo effectively score data quality, categorize your cleansing scores into four quantification levels:Scoring Level Scoring Description Scoring Result 0 No modification was done to the input value. VALID < 10,000 Small modification was done to the input value. VALID/CORRECTED < 10,000,000 Huge modification was done to the input value. UNSAFE/UNKNOWN > 10,000,000 Input value or pre-cleansed value is null. NOT VALID Each cleansing operation, as de

ONE Desktop Plans: Column Naming & Debugging 🪲

Hi everyone!Today, we have a quick best practice on covering the basics of column naming and debugging in ONE Desktop plans.When working with ONE Desktop, maintaining a consistent and meaningful naming convention for columns in your output files is crucial. This practice ensures clarity, organization, and seamless data processing. In this guide, we'll provide recommendations for naming conventions and debugging your expressions and steps for efficient plan execution. Column Naming ConventionsOutput files in ONE Desktop can contain numerous columns, especially after processing input data in DQC. To keep your data well-organized, we recommend grouping columns by content. Below are the key prefixes and suffixes used in our naming convention: PrefixesAttribute Prefix Explanation src_xxx Source input values (read-only attribute) meta_xxx Source input metadata dec_xxx Decoded source input values dic_xxx Translated master value storage (src_xxx is the source) pur_xxx Pre-clea

Simple maker-checker process (approval workflow)

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!

Term suggestions overwhelming - How to tweak and make it stop.

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

Overwrite the data using Jdbc Writer

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!

Monitoring Projects - Lifecycles 🔁Best Practice

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
