Hello everyone, I am Abir π. I am a Principal Consultant at Ataccama. I have recently worked on a project where I had to explore how IDs in Ataccama MDM work, what to consider if any customization is required from the default behavior and how to utilize the dedicated ID sequence feature. I will share in this post what I have learned from MDM gurus and from the overall experience when implementing a custom solutionΒ for anyone else venturing into the same journey.Β Understanding IDs in MDMMDM generates IDs for columns such as id, master_id, xid, tid, etc.Β utilizing a database sequence created based on the model definition. When an MDM process creates new records, it fetches the NEXTVAL value from this sequence, multiplies it by 1000, and generates and assigns IDs to the new records. Once the MDM process is completed, using the maximum ID value assigned, the sequence is updated for the next MDM process. The sequence is cached in Java (for performance reasons) during this process, this is

Hello community,Iβm working on an RDM project and have a question regarding the security configurations. I find that if I tick the Fixed Permission checkbox in the Security config. node, the roles permissions I have setupΒ in the IDE will get uploaded onto the web app., but it wonβt be editable later there. However, if I donβt tick this checkbox, none of the permissions will get loaded on to the web app., but I will be able to fully customize the roles permissions on the web app.Is there a way to have the initial roles permissions loaded from IDE, but also editable later on the web app.?Thank you in advance
Is anyone able to confirm if One Desktop version 13.3.2 is compatible withΒ with MS Windows Server 2022
Hello allA basic (and rookie) question, but I couldnβt find the answer in the manual or tutorials, or on this forum.After Iβve loaded source data into Ataccama ONE Desktop, Iβm looking to create a new column and fill it with the concatenated content of some other columns (two or more), maybe with a bit of text in between. In Excel Iβd use the Concatenate function...Example from ExcelAs you can see, I can then lookup information based on Column D and use that for bringing in various lookup values (the real use case is not name-based, this is just to create a simple example)Note - Iβm not looking to merge different tables (with join, union, or representative creator - unless those tools can do what Iβm looking for) - this is simply creating a new column/field which is a concatenation of two or more other fieldsContext: Iβm building a lookup based on multiple attributes - Iβll combine them into a single attributeΒ to give me a single lookup key and then I can use that for various other pur

Hello everyone ! Β Iβm Srija ,Solutions Consultant here at Ataccama. Today, Iβd like to talk about how to trigger profilingΒ while running a monitoring project.While running the monitoring project, the profiling process is getting triggered without any schedule or event created on the catalog item to initiate profiling. This unexpected profiling of over 1000+ records significantly slows down the system. The likely cause for this issue is the anomaly detection feature being enabled on the catalog item.To address this issue, you need to check if anomaly detection is enabled on the catalog item.Β Β Β Β Anomaly Detection in Ataccama DQWhat Anomaly Detection Does:Anomaly detection in Ataccama Data Quality (DQ) automatically identifies outliers and unusual patterns in your data. This feature is designed to ensure data quality by detecting anomalies such as unexpected values, missing data, or patterns that do not conform to the expected behavior.Implications of Enabling Anomaly Detection:Automatic

I want to configure one general email notification that will be used for all of my monitoring programs. I would prefer to receive a single email notification that compiles the findings from various monitoring projects rather than the numerous emails I usually receive for each monitoring project. I'm aware that I should use One Desktop, but I'm not sure how to proceed precisely. Well, I know that I have to call monitoringProjectProcessing which allows me to Β retreive the finish time with processing ID. And then I have to complie to get the ID link of notification but the problem is here that I dont know the step exactly. It would be great if you could help.Thanks in advance.

Hello, Iβm trying to figure out why the export plan section in Ataccama ONE desktop keeps showing βNo Records Foundβ although I have created a list of export plans.

Hi,There are certain records that contain βwhite spacesβ at the beginning and/or at the end. Ex: βΒ Β Β 100137069Β Β Β Β β, βΒ Β Β 100017129Β Β Β Β β, etc. We don't allow the use of white spaces and want to build a DQ rule to check the invalid records. Hence the advanced expression:Β Β length(String_ATTRIBUTE_1) <> length(trim(String_ATTRIBUTE_1)). When I test the DQ rule it works as intended. I copy the above results and paste them in the test environment and it shows me the record is invalid. When I remove the white spaces it will considered valid. However, when I run the Monitoring Project based on the same records and DQ rule it gives me 100% validity. How is this possible? And maybe more importantly, how can I create a rule that will show the invalid records shown earlier?Β Β
We recently had a glitch in our Test MDM load, and only 1,000 of the 4 Million+ records came into the MDM from our source system. MDM inactivated most of the 4 Million records (appropriately). However, now that we have fixed the glitch and are pulling all 4 MillionΒ into MDM from our source system, it is is not reactivating the ones it had previously inactivatedβ¦Β how can I force a re-activation of those records?
Hi Community,I have usedΒ this community tutorialΒ (thanks @anna.spakovaΒ !) andΒ this part of the documentation portalΒ to create a custom relationship (and an existing custom relationship as example). So that should be enough info, but still I encounter an issue. As follows.The relationship is between an extension of term (entity term) and custom entity application. The new relationship has been defined in entityΒ entityTermSourceOfRecordRel as followsThis new entity has also been defined in entity metadata as array.A new relationship type has been defined for this purpose:In the entity term screen I have defined the realtionship as follows:{"_type":Β "relationships","relationshipPropertyPath":Β "/entityTermSourceOfRecordRel"}On the entity term screen I would now expect to be able a new relationship like this (from the example we already had implemented):Instead I only have the option to define a new relationship type, like:What am I overlooking? We are on version 13.9.Thanks and kind regard
Hey Everyone!We have a use case involving datastage and curious if anyone has worked with this in the past. We have a team who has datastage jobs that are triggered by a table being pushed information downstream. We are wondering if there is a way either in the web or desktop, if we can use the trigger files that are created by datastage,Β somehow plug into the datastage flow, or another wayΒ that would trigger a monitoring project simultaneously to run data quality checks against the load? if certain data is not loaded in correctly, it will break the connection for the two tables, and in turn break the job,Β and they want to see the population of what is breaking the join. Hope this makes sense!Β Thanks,Thomas
Hi everyone! Iβm wondering if its possible to trigger or use theΒ Review workflow from one desktop? For instance, im currently updating a large amount of attribute descriptions and am publishing them with one desktop. Whenever I use the One Metadata writer it will apply the descriptions automatically without further approval.I would like to know if its possible to write the descriptions and then have them sent to the tasks board for the data owner to review and approve or deny.Example of what im trying to do:Use one desktop to write descriptions to attributes Review workflow is triggered, andΒ new descriptions are assigned to data owner for review (preferably in batches of 15-20 if possible) Owner either approves changes, causing descriptions to be updated or denies them causing no change to descriptionsThank you for any help!
Hello everyone!In this post, Iβll walk you through how to extract the description of all the columns and tables using the one desktop plan. Providing detailed descriptions and comments is a fundamental best practice in data management and data standards. This approach significantly enhances theunderstanding and usability of data.The summary of all the tables, attributes and their descriptions can be extracted using the below plan.1. Open a plan and add Attribute and Catalog Item metadata reader steps.2. The Attribute meta data reader helps to extract the attribute names, comments, description. Open the meta data reader and provide the column names as below and provide the Parent Id Column name as βCatalogItemIDβ.3. The Catalog Items meta data reader helps to extract the catalog Item name based on the catalog Item Identifier. Open the meta data reader and provide the column names as below and provide the Id column name as βcatalogItemIDβ.4. Use the Join Step and join the meta data reade
