- You can configure custom ETL resources to view the detailed and summary lineage for ETL transformations between multiple data sources.
- Specify a Remote File Path for the Metadata ZIP File
- When you configure a custom resource, you can provide a remote path to the ZIP file that includes the custom metadata that you want to ingest into the catalog. You can use the remote file path to automate and schedule custom resource scans.
- Configure the Custom Resource to Use a User-defined Script to Extract Metadata
- If you have automated the process to prepare custom metadata and generate the ZIP file using a script or a sequence of commands, you can provide the details when you configure the resource. Enterprise Data Catalog runs the script before running the resource.
- Configure Custom Icons for Custom Resource Data Assets
- You can customize and configure icons for classes that you define in the custom model. The icons appear in Enterprise Data Catalog to represent the data assets from a custom resource.
- Configure Relationships Views for Custom Resources
- You can configure the Relationships Views page in Enterprise Data Catalog for custom resources. As part of the configuration, you can define a set of configurations for classes in the custom model. Based on the definitions, you can filter or group related objects for each class type and view the objects on the Relationships Views page.
