Hello Ataccama,I would like to share an observation regarding the behavior of the review workflow and approver access rights.We have an entity with the review workflow enabled, where the approver is defined as a specific group (not based on stewardship assignments).From my testing, I observed that when a user publishes the entity for the first time and the review workflow is triggered, the approver group automatically receives full access to the entity. This happens regardless of whether stewardship is assigned or not.However, the behavior seems different when entities are uploaded in bulk from ONE Desktop. If multiple entities are imported without stewardship assigned, the review workflow is skipped during the initial publication. As a result, only the creator can access the entities, which is the expected behavior.Later, if one of these entities is modified manually, the review workflow is triggered as expected. The approver group can review, approve, and publish the changes. Neverth

Hi Team,Do you have any code snippet to Integrate Ataccama with Collibra ?I would like to map ataccama  catalog item and its metadata with Collibra and vice versa.Similar way for Business Terms, & Data Quality RulesAny documentation or code snippet related to requirement will help

Hi everyone,I have a business term called Customer Status. This term is sourced from the Status column in the following table:Customer | Status | UpdateTime---------|--------|---------------------1 | Gold | 08.07.2026 00:00:002 | Silver | 08.07.2026 00:00:003 | Bronze | 08.07.2026 00:00:00I would like to define a timeliness rule for the term based on the UpdateTime column, e.g. Customer Status term is timely if: dateDiff(UpdateTime, today(), “DAYS”) < 2Is this possible?    

I would like to implement a DQ accuracy rule where Attribute A is accurate if and only if its value is greater than Attribute B. Attribute B cannot be derived from Attribute A.  For example: Attribute A: Date of DeathAttribute B: Date of BirthRule: Date of death needs to be greater than date of birth for a particular person.   

Hello, I'm working on a MDM project and need help with workflow-governed record creation via the REST API.I have an integration where record creation requests come in from a third party application with the required record details.I pick up those details and use them to create a new master record in MDM via POST /api/rest/master/{viewName}/{typeName}Currently the record gets created and published immediately, completely bypassing the workflow.What I actually need is for this record creation to go through the workflow, meaning it should create a task in draft state with the actual record details, and then go through the configured approval workflow steps before being published.Is there a way to achieve this via the REST API? Any workarounds or approaches others have used for this would be really helpful. 

HelloI am getting new line character while extracting metadata (column name) from catalog in DQC. I need to replace that with space. Data is extracted as a csv and this new line character is breaking my csv. How can I do that? 

There seems to be no way to hide the global settings from users? I can only make them read only at best?

It seems that One Data access permissions are derived from Catalog Item permissions.I have a situation where a user group should only have read rights on Catalog Items within their domain but ful rights on One Data objects within that domain. This seems impossible?This is for version 16.3.1

Hello, Ataccama Community.  I am hoping you can help me figure this out.  I am trying to create a timeliness check.  The objective would be to have a general DQ rule that accepts an update date and then allows the user to configure a minimum delay and a maximum delay.  The rule would find the number of days from today and the update date, then take the maximum of that value.  If the max of that delay is mroe than the maximum parameter set, then it should return a “MAJOR DELAY” indication.Here is my challenge.  It does not seem to work when I use the parameter.  It only works when I use a hard coded value for the “maximum delay” in the test.I am hoping someone can help me figure it out.

We have been working on the FIBO ontology and have started setting up the custom relationships as they appear in FIBO. Some examples are below:  FIBO Parent Term FIBO Relationship FIBO Child Term Account hasOpenDate Open Date Account isHeldBy Account Holder Account isIdentifiedBy Account Identifier Account hasCloseDate Close Date Account hasRecord Transaction Record Account hasBalance Balance Account isProvidedBy Account Provider Account As An Asset isAssetOf Account Holder Account As An Asset isPlayedBy Account Account Holder holds Account  The relationships are in the middle column, titled “FIBO Relationship.”When we create the relationships, they are duplicating because there is not an inverse relationship. For example, Parent has an i

Rule description is field must contain 0 or 1 representing false or True respectively. Is this convertion possible? I am not able to create rule with this rule description because the source table data has only true or false or null values only. But rule description says different.

Hi ​@anna.spakova I was able to create data slice in CI. But in the monitoring project the option is not visible 

I have worked in Informatica Data Quality and I am new to Ataccama , can anyone explain me with steps In IDQ we create Rule→ Profiling → Mapping → Workflow → Scorecard Validation → Drill down the records 

Hello,I am trying to export the information displayed in the “History” tab of Glossary / Business Terms in Ataccama ONE using the ONE Metadata Reader component.On the Business Term page in the UI, the History tab displays details such as:Version number Published on date/time Published by userIt also shows when a term was newly created or updated, including the timestamp and the name of the user who made the change, similar to an audit/history log.I would like to export this information together with my glossary/business term metadata.However, in the ONE Metadata Reader, I can only see the standard business term attributes, and I cannot find any entities or columns related to:history version history revisions published by published on audit informationI am therefore trying to understand where this information is stored and how it can be exported.Could you please clarify:Which entity/table/object stores the data displayed in the History tab? Is this history/version information accessible

Hi,Can some help me with creating a post processing transformation plan that shows a different row for each DQ rule that has passed/failed on a particular field in the transformation plan in One Web UI. For Eg: I have 2 rules, a uniqueness check and a format check on the ID field. In the post processing output file, what’s the best way to see how I can split this for each rule and see the pass/fail metrics for each rule.Thanks

Hi,We are using Ataccama one 12.6 version. We have a project containing 40+ models with 90 + rules. I am looking for an options to get the detailed invalid/failed records for each model. Like all the attributes from the model along with invalid rule instance names.The idea is to get the whole failed dataset to automate the remediation process. We already have automated process to remediate the data using other technologies.I don’t want to use the download results in csv option, because we are transitioning to latest version of Ataccama.I am looking for couple of optionsExtract the detailed failed records from backend tables using sqls (where Ataccama stores the results) or would like to understand how those csv files are generated in backend and use the same way to get the data and store in  db. Reading data through Ataccama inbuilt API’s and loading into a db. I am  going through the GraphQL options. Could you please let me know, If there is way to get the similar data through GraphQL

Hello,I wanted some help in MDM around publishing of master data records while creation in mdm if they have data quality issues. So if I create a record in the master layer of mdm and if any of the records have data quality issue that record should not be allowed to be published.So in this record there are 2 data quality issues. But I am still able to publish the record. So how can I prevent that. If there are data quality issues that record should not be allowed to publish. How can I achieve that please help me.Thank you.

We upgraded to 16.3.1 and are now looking at the new Admin Centre.It is great that it is now accessible via the MDM webapp and has a great look. It also has great new features like the Server Dashboard and the Runtime Parameters.However, the Orchestration holds all the functionalities the business users regularly use. Basically everything under ‘Workflows’.This section is now further removed and looks very awkward. Especially in comparison to the slick new look of the rest. It is therefore harder to use which is not a great comfort. Given there are quite important commands that shouldn’t be done wrongly.Will you be looking to improve the look and usability and move it back to a more prominent location?

Hello,I have a question regarding MDM services. So there are different services that are already predefined in the services tab of the MDM project and we can use them easily  Some of the services are predefined and some are configurable. Now what I wanted to know is that is there a service which I can use to detect duplicates from the MDM system. So basically if I send some record information in the soap call it should tell me based on the matching logic defined in the matching step that the sent record is matched with any record or not in the MDM. Is that possible? I did try the “Process Match” part but that works differently and does not address the above use case.Thank you.

Hello,I’m trying to build some ONE Desktop plans and workflows to integrate RDM with an application which only accepts SOAP calls.I managed to do a 2 step approach - a SOAP call to get a token using username/pwd, then another SOAP call to do the actual thing using the token (insert some data into that system).I was hoping to have instead, the pwd encrypted in the runtime config file, so I tried setting up a connection like so:I tried to set up the connection in server connection:Where the SecurityProvider endpoint is where I get the token, and ComponentExecutor endpoint is where I connect to do the thing I actually want to do. But when I try to use this connection in the SOAP call step, it tells me:  So it only accepts Basic auth.   Do I have any other options?

We’re on v16.3. Is it possible to have an MMM role which has: read metadata access run profiling jobs run lkp builder jobs run monitoring project jobs But without the ability for example to edit the contents? e.g. just run a lkp builder job but not be able to amend the configurations of the lkp, or run the monitoring project without ability to change anything.I tried looking at documentation, seems like for Monitoring Project, the levels of view metadata access and view data access doesn’t allow running the project, while full access can. However full access also gives editing rights to monitoring projects which we don’t want to allow.Has anyone else run into the same scenario? How have you solved it?

Hi everyone,I’ve seen several posts about extracting data‑quality metadata from Ataccama ONE for Monitoring projects, using approaches like GraphQL or Metadata Reader steps. I wanted to ask if anyone has been successfully able to extract this metadata using either method.We’re running into significant challenges with both approaches:GraphQL: When drilling down to the table or data‑element level, the underlying query structure becomes extremely complex and difficult to interpret. It’s very time-consuming, and we haven’t been able to construct workable queries. Metadata Reader steps: This option requires joining multiple metadata streams, and the resulting plan becomes overly complicated.I’m trying to understand whether anyone has successfully built Data Quality dashboards by extracting metadata from Ataccama ONE, loading it into a database(Databricks), and connecting it to Power BI.If you’ve done this or have guidance, I would really appreciate connecting with you to discuss your approa

I am trying another way to deal with my strange timeliness issue.  Does anyone know how to reference a parameter in an advanced expression setting a variable?  As you can see it does not like me just using the name of the parameter, although it lets me use the name of an attribute just fine.Any ideas? 

Hello,We have a use case to integrate Ataccama ONE DQ&C with STONEBRANCH scheduler tool. The STONEBRANCH scheduler job should be able to trigger a monitoring project in DQ&C to perform DQ Evaluation on a Catalog item and generate a success/failure flag upon completion. Looking for documentation/details on how this can be achieved.Thanks in advance,Arjundev
