Howdy Ataccama Community:If you are needing to know how to grey out fields for edit, please navigate here: Grey out fields for edit | Community (ataccama.com)Problem: After greying out fields, I noticed that fields an Enrichment acts on appeared to change in the User Interface, even if greyed out.Solution: Working with our Ataccama professional support person, it was found that although the fields change in the UI, when saved the greyed out fields are not updated in the record being edited. This is great news, as the purpose (at least for our team) of greying out a field, is so that it cannot be changed once created.So that’s it, probably the shortest post I will put on here, but an important one for record reliability.Thank you,Jason R.S.

Hi Team,I want to use the DQ monitoring project results component. From where do we get the  Monitoring project Id for the component?Thanks in AdvanceAnagha 

Hi Every one, Why the data acquisition in a multi-load operation could be so slow?Checking the database, the query to get the data is taking less than 10 minutes. Do you have any guidance about it?

Howdy Ataccama community:Today I am creating an LKP file with multiple columns for the first time, and came across a couple rookie mistakes I was making, and wanted to share the warnings and errors I am getting.The file I am making is a simple mapping file going from the key to a field “PH1”Rookie mistake number 1: The file being used to make the lkp is a csv, and I made the assumption the Text File Reader in the lookup builder plan would recognize this from the file type. It did not, it had the separation of columns as \t (tab) still. This created the warning [EHS:SHORT_LINE][step:Text File Reader][line:1] with a row for ever row in my file. To fix this one was simply setting the “Line Separator” field in the Text File Reader to a comma instead of \t.Rookie mistake number 2: After correcting my first mistake, I was now getting the following error “There were logged 1 runtime warnings and 1 runtime errors.” With the details being “Error sending response” with no info on why. I got frus

Hello,I’m setting a new connection for Snowflake datasource, and I need to use key pair authentication for this.In the credentials drop-down menu it doesn’t look like this option to be present:  What do you advise?

At our site we have Ataccama on premise and several sources from different data systems. It happened a couple of times that profiling on one of the sources was no longer possible and that we found that out more than a week later. After which it was difficult to track back why this happened.We do have monitoring of all kinds of Ataccama components with Prometheus. But that didn't seem to detect these issues. I was looking for a way to monitor profiling functionality.So what I came up with was a monitoring project that profiles a small table from each source, every hour.Since you can schedule a monitoring project every hour at least, and since you can add notification in case of failure, this gives us warning at most near 1 hours after something breaks.Just adding a catalog item of a table to the MP turned out not to be sufficient though. Because when the monitoring project ran, it did only a structure check, not a profile. To get it profiling, it needed an anomaly check.When you do an a

We have a question. The basic viewer can view the global settings and with that also a list of users. We'd rather not share this info with the basic viewer. How can we change this?

Howdy Ataccama Community!Have you ever wanted to have a user see a field while in edit mode, but want to have it greyed out for editing? This problem arose while we were working with a Primary Key that needed to be seen in edit mode but never edited. The only way for a field to be seen in edit mode, is to set it to Modify in the permissions, but we did not want the user to modify. Problem: Show all fields in Edit mode, but only have certain ones editable.Solution: Begin by deploying your project and populating any tables with initial loads as needed. Next go back to OneDesktop IDE, and open the table you are wanting to make some fields non-editable. For the fields you want to make non-editable select Generated. While this sounds like it will auto generate the field, I assure you it does not.Now generate and deploy your project again (remember to generate at the App Configuration level).Note: You might need to stop and restart services for the change to take effect. While I was testing

Easy question: I used to be able to use this AQL search to look up tables with specific purpose tags, but it’s no longer working with the upgrade to 14.3. Does anyone have a suggestion? Here is the AQL search I used: dataInstances.any(displayName = '[Purpose Tag]')

How to extract the root of JSON result which I got from GET api call from JSON CALL step .?I am able to fetch the attributes of root but I am unable to fetch the root itself .

Howdy all:Earlier this week we started having an issue when end users were trying to log in to our DEV environment. When they would navigate to the URL, their browser would show Ataccama splash screen, then instantly (and continuously) refresh. When asked to try to ping the URL via the command line, the correct IP was being hit, and there was a low latency reply from the server.Note: This issue occurred using Azure AD.Problem: User navigates to a known good URL for Ataccama RDM Web Application. When the application is reached, Ataccama splash screen shows in browser, then browser starts refreshing every 2 to 3 seconds.Solution: It was found that someone accidentally change the setting in KeyCloak called “First Login Flow.” This should have been set to “First Broker Login,” but was switched to “Browser.” Switching back to “First Broker Login” fixed the issue for our users.I am unsure if this is specific to Azure AD, but it is worth a try, if you are seeing a similar issue.Thank you,Jaso

I’d like to check if I am listing the correct steps to add a DQ rule in an existing Monitoring Project, and the order in which to take them. I am quite new to Ataccama so please excuse my ignorance. Can anyone please confirm or adjust them? Many thanks in advance! How to add a DQ ruleCheck if the rule you want to apply, already exists out of the box. For example, if you want to say a certain field cannot be empty, you can apply the predefined rule: String completeness. Other standard checks include validation of email addresses, and URLs. Go to Monitoring Project, tab Configuration & Results Choose the file you want to check (either a VCI or a Parquet File – the latter starts with PF). Choose which attribute you want to check In the 5th column, add: applied DQ checks Doublecheck whether the scoring of the rule is correct (some of the standard rules have a scoring of 0 – you might want to change that) In the upper right hand corner, choose “Publish” Run monitoring. This will take so

Hi everyone! This week’s last best practice post is on Monitoring Project Results Retention! Managing data retention is crucial for maintenance and security purposes. Whether you want to keep results for a specific duration or limit data storage based on the number of runs, Ataccama's Monitoring Project Results Retention feature has got you covered. Flexible Retention SettingsWith Monitoring Project Results Retention, you have the flexibility to choose how long you want to store the results of your monitoring projects. This can be defined in two ways: Per project configuration: Keep the last X runs. Remove runs after X days. Global configuration (available to power-users only) that takes precedence over project configuration: Keep the last X runs. Remove runs after X days. When global settings are configured, you'll receive notifications in the web application.For more details on configuring global settings, check out Monitoring Projects Global Retention.When Data Will Be DeletedMo

Hi Team,I have tried to create Accuracy rule for Date datatype to check whether Date is in the standard format. Accurate rule should be as follows:Standard date format is ‘MM-DD-YYYY’. If date is entered in any format other than the above mentioned (‘DD-MM-YYYY’ or ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ or ‘YYYY-DD-MM’) then it should be considered as inaccurate.When I tried using regex expression, I am getting error. Any ideas?
