Introduction to IBM Mainframe Job Control Language (Accelerator)
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, IBM Mainframe is a source system from which you can extract metadata through an IBM Mainframe Job Control Language (Accelerator) catalog source with Metadata Command Center.
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.
Note: To enable and configure this catalog source, you need assistance from Informatica Professional Services. For more information, contact your account representative.
