    You can use Metadata Manager to trace the flow of data in PowerCenter from sources to targets by analyzing where data originates, how it is transformed, and where it ends. The data lineage diagram displays repositories, data structures, fields, and the connections between them. To view data lineage in PowerCenter Designer, ensure Metadata Manager is configured correctly and load the PowerCenter repository metadata. Then right-click the desired object and select "Data Lineage" to view its flow in the browser.

    Viewing Data Lineage Overview

    By PenchalaRaju.Yanamala

    You can use Metadata Manager to trace the flow of data in PowerCenter from
    the sources to targets. With the Metadata Manager data lineage, you can
    analyze where data originates, how the data is transformed and what objects
    transform it, and where the data ends. You can analyze the data flow within a
    single PowerCenter repository or across multiple PowerCenter repositories.

    You can display the data lineage for PowerCenter objects in the Designer. When
    you display data lineage for a PowerCenter object, the Designer connects to the
    Metadata Manager application and extracts the data lineage information from the
    Metadata Manager warehouse. The data lineage diagram appears in a browser
    window.

    Data lineage analysis on a PowerCenter repository displays one or more of the


    following PowerCenter objects:

    Repositories. You can load objects from multiple PowerCenter repositories into
    Metadata Manager. In the data lineage, Metadata Manager displays the
    repository for each metadata object.
    Data structures. Data lineage on a PowerCenter object includes the source
    definition, target definition, and transformation data structures.
    Fields. Fields are objects within data structures that store the metadata. Data
    lineage on a PowerCenter object includes the source, target, and transformation
    ports.

    Configuring Data Lineage Access

    To configure PowerCenter and Metadata Manager to display lineage for


    PowerCenter objects, complete the following tasks:

    Make sure Metadata Manager is running. Create a Metadata Manager


    Service in the Administration Console or verify that an enabled Metadata
    Manager Service exists in the domain that contains the PowerCenter repository
    1.you want to run data lineage analysis on.
    Load the PowerCenter repository metadata. Create a resource for the
    PowerCenter repository in Metadata Manager and load the PowerCenter
    2.repository metadata into the Metadata Manager warehouse.
    Set up the connection between the PowerCenter repository and Metadata
    Manager. Configure the Metadata Manager Service and the resource name for
    3.the PowerCenter repository in the PowerCenter Administration Console.
    Configure the web browser. When you run data lineage analysis on a
    PowerCenter object, the Designer launches data lineage analysis in the default
    browser configured for your system. Data lineage requires the Flash 9 viewer
    4.installed on the browser.

    Running Data Lineage from the Designer

    You can access data lineage from any PowerCenter Designer tool. You can
    display data lineage on source and target definitions, transformations, mapplets,
    and mappings.
    To run data lineage from the PowerCenter Designer:

    In the Designer, open the PowerCenter folder containing the object on which
    1.you want to run data lineage.
    2.Open the object in the applicable workspace area.
    For example, if you want to run data lineage on a transformation, open the
    transformation in the Transformation Developer.
    3.In the workspace, right-click and select Data Lineage.
    The data lineage for the object appears in a browser window.

    Note: The performance of the data lineage analysis depends on the amount of
    available system resources on the machine running the Metadata Manager
    application. Running multiple data lineage analyses on multiple objects
    simultaneously can impact performance.

    After you access data lineage, you can view details about each object in the data
    lineage diagram. You can export the data lineage to a PNG image file or print the
    diagram. You can also email the data lineage to other users. For more
    information about data lineage, see the Metadata Manager User Guide.
