Customize relationship types

A relationship between assets depicts how the assets relate to each another. In Data Governance and Catalog, you can use different types of relationships to connect business assets to each other and to relevant technical assets.
In Metadata Command Center, you can add new relationship types or modify or remove existing relationship types for assets that can be related to each other. You can't create a new relationship between assets that have no predefined relationship with one another. For more information about how assets relate to each other, see the Asset Discovery help for Data Governance and Catalog.

Modifying relationship types

You can add, modify or remove the possible relationships between assets when the relationship is in a Draft state.
Define appropriate roles and select the Manage Custom Attributes feature for that role when you configure privileges for Metadata Command Center in Administrator. For more information about feature privileges that the organization administrator can configure for user roles, see the Introduction and Getting Started help.

You can also perform this action from the Action menu on the Asset Customization > Relationships tab of the Customize page. On the Asset Customization > Relationships tab, you can also discard the draft version of multiple relationships. To do this, select the relationships for which you want to discard the draft state and click the Discard icon from the Action menu.
    9Click Publish to publish your changes.
    The system initiates the Association Publish job to publish your changes. If another job to create, modify or delete an attribute or relationship is active, the system informs you of the active job. To publish your changes, you must wait for the active job to be completed. On the Job Monitoring Overview page, you can click View Status to monitor the status of the job.
    Note: The system displays an error if the previous job has failed. At this stage, you must resolve the errors and reinitiate the previous job and await its completion before you can start your own job.
    After the publishing is successful, the lifecycle state of the relationship changes from Draft to Published.
    10After the publish job is completed, ensure that you refresh the web page on your browser to view your changes to the relationship type.
    After your changes are published, all the relationship types are automatically arranged in an alphabetical order.
