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

Hi!We need to see the same filters from Main Rule page to subpages such as “Detection” and “DQ Evaluation”. How to do that?

We are working to migrate a long running set of data quality rules into Ataccama.  Most have been easily implemented and are running smoothly.However, the last set of about 10 deals with overlapping date ranges related to effective dates.  We want to validate that one Processor (for instance) only has one “active” record for a date (as defined by the start effective date and end effective dates on those records).For instance, let’s say Processor ABC has the following records, there is a problem with records 2 and 3.ABC, Start: 1/1/2024, End: 12/31/2024 ABC, Start: 1/1/2025, End: 12/31/2025 ABC, Start: 10/1/2025, End: 12/31/2026Ideally, we would like to pass an identifier (in this case ABC), and then the start effective date, and then the end effective date, as we have to do this on about ten + tables.  So, we’d like a universal rule that we can use across the board.I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has implemented a similar rule and can share with us their logic and process.

Hi,I need to dynamically union all sheets in an Excel file used as input for a plan. Since the number and names of sheets may change, I’m exploring whether this can be handled within Ataccama—potentially by using a Python script in a Run Shell Script step within a separate workflow, and then using the output as the plan input.I would appreciate your help.

Hi everyone,I’m working with Ataccama ONE version 15.4.1 and would like to track user activity for reporting purposes (e.g., number of users logging in or using the platform on a weekly ,monthly and quarterly  basis).Is it possible to capture this kind of user activity and export it into a SQL database for reporting?If yes, could you please outline:What needs to be configured to enable user activity tracking How to capture login/usage data How to export or make this data available in a SQL database Any recommended approach for building weekly/monthly user metrics Secondly : I want to create an export plan using a post-processing plan in the IDE. Is it possible to make the export rule-based, instead of exporting the entire set of invalid samples?For example: If a rule checks for missing values, can the export return only the invalid samples for that specific rule? Or  Is it possible to export invalid samples by attribute, so that if the attribute is Last Name, the export includes only

Hi Team,Good day! I’m trying to bulk purge some instance records, the high level approach is deactivate the records (i.e. set eng_active to false) and run purge process to delete the deactivated record. To implement this approach i Have following queries:Can I directly set eng_active status for those identified instance records using “Execute SQL” tool? To call purgeProcess from the plan, I use “Soap Call”? how do i get the wsdl of all the native services. As Ataccama documents suggested I could locate them in Admin Center (Interfaces > Services) , but when i click on show service info/show wsdl, it asks for credentials, but I login using Azure AD. Please let me know if there is any other simple approach I should consider.Thank you!

Hi Team,Could someone provide guidance on how to customize API responses in Ataccama MDM (version 15.4.1)?Our requirement is to conditionally exclude certain child records from the API response based on a relationship-type attribute. For example, a single party may have multiple identifiers such as SSN, TIN, ABC, etc. When a consumer application makes a GET API call, we need logic that checks whether an ABC-type identifier exists. If it does, the API should stop further processing and return the response accordingly (e.g., prioritizing or limiting the payload based on this condition).How can this kind of conditional filtering or response control be implemented—preferably within Ataccama (configuration, query layer, or business rules), rather than handling it downstream? Regards,
