Onboarding Objects

You can manually link Enterprise Data Catalog fields to Axon attributes. You can also choose to automatically onboard the data sets and attributes from Enterprise Data Catalog to Axon. Configure the Enterprise Data Catalog parameters and data onboarding rules from the Admin Panel in Axon. To automatically onboard objects, you can select an onboarding rule for a System object and enable the automated onboarding process based on the onboarding rule from the System object.

A background job is scheduled to run daily at a predefined interval. When the job runs, Informatica identifies critical data elements based on the configured onboarding rules and the data sets and attributes are automatically created in Axon systems. After onboarding the discovered objects, Axon sends notifications to the glossary stakeholders about the discovered objects. The data set stakeholders can curate the attributes by accepting or rejecting them.
