Import Monitoring Project Configurations Part 3️⃣Best Practice

Hi everyone! In the last part of Monitoring Projects Configurations, we will talk about how to easily import configurations from one monitoring project to another, making your data quality monitoring more efficient. If you’ve missed Part 1&2 you can find them below:Import the Configuration Instead of creating a new project from scratch, you can copy the configuration of one monitoring project and apply it to another. This is particularly useful when you want to replicate settings from a testing environment to a production environment. The copied configuration includes all checks, invalid samples, reports structure, and DQ filters.To import the configuration:Navigate to the project where you want to apply the configuration.   Expand the more options menu and select Import configuration. Choose the monitoring project from which you want to copy the configuration, from the list provided. Check if the preselected catalog items are correct. You can modify the list by deleting items or

EXTRA_DATA error or warning

The EXTRA_DATA error/warning was a thorn in my side for the last couple of days. I added a column to a dataset I was loading to a model from a Text File Reader, and I could not figure out for the life of me what I was doing different from before the column add. It turned out, where I was trying to unselect data was too early.Problem: Suppose you are bringing in a delimited file to use in a Text File Reader that has an extra field at the beginning, which you don't want to have in your output. Finding the correct place to disable this data can difficult. If you disable it before your Text File Reader, or simply don't bring it into your Text File Reader, then you run the risk of getting an error or warning that states EXTRA_DATA for every row you try to bring in, as seen below.I have seen the EXTRA_DATA error in 3 scenariosDeselecting the “Use” box in the Metadata definition on columns you don’t want.

Getting Started with Monitoring Projects 🎢Best Practice

Hi Community!In the next few days, we will discuss Monitoring Projects, a powerful tool to evaluate and monitor data quality over time for selected catalog items. Monitoring projects use DQ checks, automatic anomaly detection, and structure checks to maintain data quality. We also have a short video introduction to Monitoring Projects, go check it out here 👇 If you are ready, let's dive in 🤿 Accessing Monitoring ProjectsTo access Monitoring Projects:Go to the left-hand menu and select Data Quality. Choose Monitoring Projects.     In this section, you'll find all configured projects.

How do I evaluate multiple columns for possible composite primary key?

I have a legacy database without primary keys.  I know how to evaluate a single column for uniqueness, and thus a primary key. How do I evaluate multiple columns which together would be unique and thus be a composite primary key?

Lookup Items and Rules ✍️Best Practice

Hi Community!We are starting the week by exploring best practices for effectively working with Lookup Items and integrating them into your Data Quality (DQ) rules. Lookups are essential in ONE Web Application as they provide a list of predefined values for attributes, enhancing data validation and detection capabilities.If you remember we have previously covered how to create Lookup files in rules in our Working with DQ Rules series, today we will expand on the lookup items feature. Overview of Lookup ItemsLookup Files in ONE Web Application enable you to use reference data, offering a catalog of predefined values for an attribute. You can utilize Lookup Files in both DQ Evaluation rules and Detection rules. To find Lookup Files, go to Data Quality → Lookup Items.  Uploading and Creating Lookup FilesCreating Lookup FilesTo create a Lookup File, follow these steps:In Knowledge Catalog, navigate to Data Quality.

RDM: The capability to create a new record with a unique Primary Key column through the UI, accompanied by the restriction of disallowing any subsequent edits to the Primary Key ID.

Dear Community,I require your assistance with a specific scenario in RDM (Record Data Management).We have a table in RDM that allows users to create, edit, and delete records, which are synchronized back to the database. This table contains a primary key ID column. During the creation of a new record, the user provides the Primary key value. However, the challenge we face is that this primary key column should not be editable afterward to maintain its uniqueness as a key.We attempted to restrict column-level permissions, but this resulted in the Primary key column not being visible even during the creation of a new record.I would appreciate your guidance on this matter.Thanks very much.Ojaswini

Migration of permissions from version 13 to version 14Tutorial

Hello everyone, Anna here! I work as a projects consultant in Ataccama and today I put together a guide for you on how to migrate permissions after upgrade of v13 to v14. In v14, we introduced a fresh new permissions model introducing Groups and Stewardship. The downside is, though, that after the upgrade the old permissions model cannot be automatically migrated into the new setup.Attached to this guide is a migration package – a set of plans that you can use that will help you through the process of migrating the old permissions into the new setup in more automated way. It is not meant for fresh v14 installations.The article is split to two parts:Preparation phase – steps you need to do BEFORE you upgrade your environment to v14. Post-upgrade phase – steps you need to do AFTER the upgrade, meaning in your new v14 environment.Preparation phaseFollowing steps should be run on version 13 prior running the migration scripts and upgrade of the environment.1.

RDM Table Enrichment with Null Value
RDM Table Enrichment with Null Value

Let me start with the fact that I am new to developing Ataccama RDM (as in a couple months into development/learning).Problem statement: I am working on a project for creating new RD in the RDM module, and came across an instance where I needed an Enrichment that could not only fill in a field in the request, but could also delete the data in that field. I attempted many different methods, and could not get it to work, as having the field blank it would be considered a null value. After looking through the XML for the enrichment, I found that the column I was trying to set to null was set up in such a manner as to not allow null values (which appears to be the default in Ataccama RDM).Solution: When creating an Enrichment there is an .online file that is created for deployment in the online application services. In this file, there is a setting for Strategy. The default for Strategy → Output Format → Root Section for each column is set to Optional Element, which does not allow null/bla
