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 script:
The image shows the process of metadata extraction from a source system that begins with prerequisites verification, continues with the creation of the catalog source, and ends with viewing the extraction results.
After you verify prerequisites, perform the following tasks to extract metadata from Microsoft SQL Server Script:
  1. 1Register a catalog source. Create a catalog source object, select Microsoft SQL Server Script, 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.
