Hi All, Is there a way to parse a copybook file in order to transform the data file into JSON/CSV? The use case is to be able to provide profiling metrics on the web via VCIs? Thank you😁 

When creating groups, are the names always public to everyone who uses the instance?  Or is there a way to create a group of groups that only the members of that groups can see?

Hi all,I have a file with a ¬ delimiter  and text qualifiers and in the file it looks fine but when I look at the local file system in Ataccama to bring the file into the catalog the ¬ shows as Z with an accent. Are there different regional settings in the config that need setting or changing or is this something else? Many thanks for any help Des

Hello,I am trying to use MPP step to derive some values from some free text field.I am struggling to parse any regex pattern for string like “A/B”.It seems to work but whenever there is / sign it just doesn’t parse it.I tried to escape it using \/ and also some other different options but nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong?EDIT:Tried to parse similar REGEX against Regex Matching step and here it seems to work: Could it be possible that MPP step is parsing incorrectly?EDIT 2:I might have found the issue. I took Tokenizer part from our another component and it started working correctly. However, I still don’t understand exactly how Tokenizer works and the docs aren’t providing with great examples on how to understand it. Szymek

Please help/guide me on how to create parameters to enter values for a workflow in admin centre. I have an already configured workflow with parameters in Admin centre but I want to remove it. I am not aware of this change as it was made previously by another person. If there is some documentation in ataccama docs that someone could point me towards, that would also be great.TIA

Has anyone experience of integrating Ataccama with Alation Data Catalog?I’ve searched the support and knowledge base article without any success.

Hi all, what about if I had a fixed width file in the catalog with the first row as the header (in error). The column data comes in as one string which renders it unusable for profiling and DQ. How can I get these types of files into the catalog so I can use them in my monitoring project? I have used VCI’s before to add headers to csv files in the catalog and they work well. Kind regards Des

I have created a workflow to call a component which is selecting data based on a value provided by user in the admin center workflow input parameter. To make it error free so that the user doesn’t input any wrong value for the parameter, I was wondering if it is possible to create a dropdown or bullet with accepted parameter values in the admin center so we could just choose the value and run the workflow?Please let me know if anyone has tried this.Thank you,

Reasons for deletionThere are several reasons why you might want to delete data from your MDM.Legal reasons e.g. GDPR Incorrect load operation happened The data is simply not relevant anymore Performance issues while keeping redundant data etc.Truncate tables?People usually ask if a TRUNCATE operation worked. The simple answer is NO. It might work only in isolated edge cases. You typically need to consider MANY other things and at least some of them need to be resolved.uncommitted transactions related tables/records x... tables historical table(s) direct deletion will not be properly removed from the history and must be removed separately master table(s) matching repository and matching proposals repository (if matching is enabled) think about copyColumns - are there any data copied from that specific entity to a related one export operations (truncated data will not be exported) event handlers (truncated data will not be published) auditing direct deletion will not be logged and will

On the last 8 months we were working on deploy cloud resource to integrate databricks solution with ataccama dpe and develop jobs to execute on databricks and see the results on ataccama one. The deployment is executed on cloud provider side (aws - microsoft) and the configuration is manually so it takes time to set up with corresponding values, one of the task we would like to improve is the configuration of one databricks with unity catalog to be part of ataccama dpe. On past forums topics I saw helm is part of the tech stacks of ataccama and I am interested to know more about on. I would like to get more information kind of library to repository to understand helm on ataccama dpe. thank you

If my MDM instance is up and running with the model same as the example project. But there were standardization changes that need to be implemented now. Example: ph no. (+91)22343 24532 is being standardised to +91234324532.Will this affect matching for contact.master records? If so, will it create new master ids in any scenario? 

I’m building an API call request, where I first need to obtain an access token, before I make my actual API call.I have tested the 2-step process using 2 separate JSON calls successfully. The message body of the OAuth request looks like this. Sensitive info redacted: scope is a required parameter. The above call successfully retrieves my token. I tried to setup this as a Generic server:But there is no available space to specify the scope parameter. When I run my plan: I get:2024-09-04 09:33:16 INFO: Validating model...2024-09-04 09:33:16 INFO: Creating runtime...2024-09-04 09:33:17 INFO: Running runtime...2024-09-04 09:33:17 [JsonCall] DEBUG: IOException when making request GET https://preprod-api.londonmarketgroup.co.uk/reference-data/acord/v2/version HTTP/1.1java.io.IOException: Cannot get credentials for request. at com.ataccama.dqc.io.http.CommonHttpClient.makeRequest(CommonHttpClient.java:351) at com.ataccama.dqc.tasks.io.json.call.JsonCall$Runtime.run(JsonCall.java:425) at com.at

Hi community,Has anyone managed to connect Ataccama (we’re on PaaS), or even ONE Desktop, to a corporate network folder, download files, and work with it in .ewf workflows and components / plans?Yes I know Ataccama connects to S3 buckets / ADLS Gen2 containers, but the environment that I work in people are really used to shared network drives and a lot of applications are integrated with them. It would make my life a lot easier if I can make Ataccama connect into it.When I look at either the SCP or SFTP upload/download steps, it requires a server to be set up with Basic authentication - of course when I connect to the network drive personally I don’t need to enter any of that.Has anyone done something similar?

HiI have a workflow with Send Email step configured and this workflow will be pushed to orchestration server to run it. I have an attachment need to be included in the email notification generated from the workflow and realized that if I put only the file name for example RESULTS_ABC.xlsx, by default it will find it the same folder of the workflow that is being created. Let’s say if I put the RESULTS_ABC.xlsx in different folder like Data/Out, how do I configure it correctly at the Attach Files configuration as shown in the image below? I saw a discussion to use filePath variable but I am not too familiar with that. Could you please explain how can we achieve running the workflow and read the file that is stored from different folder so that it can attach in the email. 

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to profile a subset of the data based on a certain criteria in the web application. For example, I want to get the profiling results only for records with the ‘Active’ status in the ‘Status’ field.I am able to do this in the desktop application by writing a custom sql query to filter the results. If I can do this directly in the web app that would be really helpful.Thanks in advance!
