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 an OpenLineage source system:
The image shows the process of metadata extraction from an OpenLineage source system that begins with prerequisites verification, continues with the creation of the catalog source, and ends with viewing the results and lineage.
After you verify prerequisites, perform the following tasks to extract metadata from OpenLineage:
  1. 1Register a catalog source. Create a catalog source object, select OpenLineage, and specify a value for the connection property.
  2. 2Configure the catalog source. Specify the runtime environment and configure parameters for metadata extraction. You can also configure other capabilities such as lineage discovery, autonomous enrichment, data profiling and quality, data classification, or glossary association.
  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.
  7. For connection-aware scans, run the catalog source again after you assign connections to referenced source system assets.
After you run the catalog source job, you view the results in Data Governance and Catalog.
