Data Flow Analytics Overview

You can configure Data Flow Analytics for Enterprise Data Catalog to view statistical information about the mappings that exist in PowerCenter resources.
After you configure Data Asset Analytics for Enterprise Data Catalog, the Data Flow Analytics tab is enabled in Enterprise Data Catalog. See the Informatica 10.5 Installation for Enterprise Data Catalog guide for more information about configuring Data Flow Analytics for Enterprise Data Catalog.
You can view the key metrics about mappings in PowerCenter resources. The key metrics include the number of resources, folders, workflows, and mappings. You can also view the mapping discovery metrics associated with each resource such as the number of mappings and the date on which the mappings were discovered.
Data Flow Analytics performs various analyses on the mappings. The analyses include similar mapping analysis, duplicate mapping analysis, mapplet candidate analysis, reusable transformation candidate analysis, and user-defined function candidate analysis. For each mapping resource, you can view the percentage of mappings for each analysis type with respect to the total number of mappings.
To view the mapping details specific to a resource, you can click the resource name from the dashboard page. At the resource level, for each mapping analysis type, the discovered mappings are organized into multiple groups.
Effective in version 10.5, Data Flow Analytics in Enterprise Data Catalog is available for technical preview.
Technical preview functionality is supported for evaluation purposes but is unwarranted and is not supported in production environments or any environment that you plan to push to production. Informatica intends to include the preview functionality in an upcoming release for production use, but might choose not to in accordance with changing market or technical circumstances. For more information, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
