Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) allows users to use one set of credentials to log into many different websites. It is an open standard that allows identity providers (IdP) to pass authorization credentials to service providers(SP). SAML transactions use Extensible Markup Language (XML) for standardized communications between the identity provider and service providers. SAML is the link between the authentication of a user’s identity and the authorization to use a service. Items to consider prior to connecting to SAML- Best PracticeIt is important to understand how your organization’s Active Directory is setup. Some pre-requisites needed can include things such as:Do you have a list of groups you need to import? If the answer is no, you may want to speak to your engagement manager from Ataccama to discuss in detail. In short, with AD Groups we can map Ataccama Roles to a single group. This benefit of doing this is, your internal dev-ops team won’t have to manually add/remove u

Our Incremental load operation is taking huge time (2 hrs to process 5-7K records). We have applied all performance tuning things which is there in document. Apart from this we thought of loading data from DW to PostgreSQL (MDM DB) stage table and then will use that stage table as a source in Incremental load. Idea is when the server will be same for both source and target the computation will be faster.But this direct load job is failing with below error. Kindly help on fixing this. Or please recommend on any other approach.com.ataccama.nme.core.NmeExecutionException: Plan "C:\Users\EYKU4F\Ataccama\workspace\OmniChannelMDM_Latest\Files\engine\load\EPRISM_stg_eprism.comp" execution failed: runtime.error.jdbc_reader_error - nullcom.ataccama.dqc.model.environment.AbortedExecutionException at com.ataccama.dqc.model.elements.data.flow.RecordQueue.putBatch(RecordQueue.java:173) at com.ataccama.dqc.model.elements.data.flow.RecordQueue.access$100(RecordQueue.java:35) at com.ataccama.dqc.model

Hi,I am running a workflow that includes a task called 'Execute SQL'. This task updates some values in the SQL database, but the code is quite heavy. When the workflow reaches this task, I encounter the following error message. Can anyone assist?  

Hi Is it possible to tag Terms to the attribute metadata present in one web, while importing the terms in bulk from one desktop?Ask: Attributes and Tables are already present in one web. Importing business terms from csv file using one desktop.So while importing the business terms using one desktop is it possible to directly tag those business terms with their corresponding attributes?(The tagging list also i want to provide in a csv file and don’t want to use the automated tagging from ataccama)

Hi  We are noticing behaviour in our model where a source system will split from its golden id group when updated on matching criteria fields ( in this example address). However it only does this when the group of records was manually merged onto the golden id. It wont “jump ship” and form a new golden id when the records previously auto merged based on the matched criteria we assigned in the model.Is there a way we can stop this splitting from happening when the source system is updated? For example we can see here the new golden id created with one SF record  the previous group the SF record belonged to, shows a lot of manual merging in the Match Rule Name column Our rematch if changed section shows these fields are used for rematching:  We want to keep rematching switched on, to bring other source systems into the group if they meet criteria, but we dont updates on the SF record itself to allow it to break out of the group. (We dont want “auto-splits”) thanks

Hi,I have two columns: first name and initials. # first_name initials 1 John J. 2 Robin Earl R.E. 3 Mark Tate Lynch M.T.L. 4 Bert Ern B.E. 5 Johan Flugg J.F. Is there a DQ rule that can check if the two columns are correctly in synch in what they should be? I understand checking the initials format is one thing, but I actually want to check if it is correctly formatted based on the first_name column. Looking for a preferred solution in ONE Web.

I have been testing rule specific notifications within monitoring projects and it seems to add those notifications to the bottom part of the general notifications, but we are trying to see if we can receive separate emails due to different users needing to see specific issues.The documentation link is shown in the link below,https://docs.ataccama.com/one/latest/monitoring-projects/results-reports-notifications.html#specific-notifications  

Hello: I would like to create an alert - while scanning the datasets - if it flags any data to be PII (such as Social Security Number, Data of Birth, Tax Identification Number) etc., Is there a way to get alerted when a specific term is assigned to any catalog item attribute? 

I’m hoping someone can help.  I created a term called Personal Information (PI).  I’m trying to create a detection rule to find all columns that are considered PI.  Ideally, I would be looking at both the name and the data within.  Is that even possible?

I have data coming from a SQL database. For most queries, the structure of these queries remains the same, as shown in the picture, with only the attribute name changing. Now, I want to classify these queries as unique based on their structure rather than the attribute name.Demo DataThank you.Regards,Dhaval 

Hello, from one of our source systems we were previously excluding any inactive addresses, contact details, etc. Our users have requested we load these records into MDM for visibility. My issue is that while we can add these records as is, they will not show as inactive on MDM. We could add a source active flag but for consistency with other sources we would like them to show as inactive on MDM (Greyed out). We have considered doing a one time load of all the inactive instances and then excluding them from the daily load but because it is possible to create address and contact details as inactive from the source that would not work. I have explored using the delta load as it has a change type column that could be appropriate for our use case.Has anyone had to set records in MDM as inactive as part of the load not using the deletion strategy? What method did you use?I have also looked into creating new instance entities to store inactive records but that would be a large undertaking as

Hi @Cansu and AllIn the event if there is no change in the delta records coming in MDM except one of the Sequence Generated column, is their a way that the date field(Last Changed) gets updated with the date of the new row only on INSTANCE layer and not on the MASTER layer. So, if MDM ingests the delta record in Instance Layer and sees that there are no changes detected on any columns except the sequence column and it has nothing to update the Golden Record already existing then it should update the date field on Instance Layer only and not on Master Layer.Please let me know if you have any additional questions.Thank YouRitesh Ranjan

Hey all,I was wondering if you ever came accross the following requirement and has some tips maybe to implement it.The Text File Writer step can be used to create for instance log files. For tracking or governance reasons it may be necessary to keep all log files. But because the output file name is fixed, each time the file will be overwritten whenever a new one is created. Of course it is possible to manually add a datetimestamp to the file name after its creation, but that is a rather cumbersome approach. So I would like to be able to add a datetimestamp to the file name automatically. Does anyone have a suggestion?Kind regards,Albert

Hi,I am looking for a plan to export column names for a catalog item in One Web. Can someone help me with it?Thanks

Hi Ataccama community,I’m hoping someone with better grip on the Ataccama GraphQL model can shine a light on this. For internal reporting, we are looking to retrieve data quality details via the Ataccama GraphQL API. One of the requests it to produce an overview of the DQ score across the (rule’s) DQ dimensions. This is basically the same as is shown in the web UI when navigating to the ‘Data Quality’ tab for a Term. It shows the score broken down by dimensions, based on how the rules are defined.What I’m trying to do is retrieve the passed/failed rows at this level, so for each term and each dimension. This would allow me to summarise this into a score per dimension.However,  I am unable to get this out of the API.I’ve approached this from both the ‘terms’ and ‘rules’ pathway. In both approaches I always end up with the ‘Overall Quality’ score for each term - not the per dimension details.The ‘rules’ query looks promising, but ultimately only returns the passed/failed records for the

Hi, I’m trying to add the data value to the file extension in the component but I’m not able to get the expected results. I have added a new string column using alter format step (tostring(today(), 'yyyy-MM-dd'). When I pass the column as $date or ${date} in the output filename, I’m not seeing the data on the output filename. 

Can anyone guide me on how to generate an audit for every action, log it, and integrate the logs with the UI in Ataccama One Desktop? Any best practices or examples would be greatly appreciated!
