Introduction to TIBCO Spotfire catalog sources

You can use Metadata Command Center to extract metadata from a source system.
A source system is any system that contains data or metadata. For example, TIBCO Spotfire is a source system from which you can extract metadata through a TIBCO Spotfire catalog source with Metadata Command Center. A catalog source is an object that represents and contains metadata from the source system.
Before you extract metadata from a source system, you first create and register a catalog source that represents the source system.
When Metadata Command Center extracts metadata, Data Governance and Catalog displays the extracted metadata and its attributes as technical assets. You can then perform tasks such as analyzing the assets, viewing lineage, and creating links between those assets and their business context.
You can only extract metadata using this catalog source.

Extraction and view process

To extract metadata from a source system, configure the catalog source and run the extraction job in Metadata Command Center. Then view the results in Data Governance and Catalog.
The following image shows the process to extract metadata from a TIBCO Spotfire source system:
The image shows the process of metadata extraction from a Microsoft OneDrive source system that begins with prerequisites verification, continues with the creation of the catalog source, and ends with viewing the results.
After you verify prerequisites, perform the following tasks to extract metadata from TIBCO Spotfire:
  1. 1Register a catalog source. Create a catalog source object, select TIBCO Spotfire, and specify values for connection properties.
  2. 2Configure the catalog source. Specify the runtime environment, configure the metadata extraction capability, and add filters for metadata extraction.
  3. 3Optionally, associate stakeholders. Associate users with technical assets, giving the users permission to perform actions determined by their roles.
  4. 4Run or schedule the catalog source job.
  5. 5Optionally, if the catalog source job generates referenced asset objects, you can assign a connection to referenced source system assets.
    6. You can view the lineage with object references without performing connection assignment. After connection assignment, you can view the objects.
After you run the catalog source job, you view the results in Data Governance and Catalog.
