Talend OCF Connector: Version 3.0.0¶
Enhancements¶
Support for tMap Metadata Extraction¶
The connector now extracts the tMap node from Talend and catalogs it as a table into Alation metadata. Now, the connector also catalogs tMap columns into Alation. (AL-174095)
Support for Cataloging All Nodes¶
The connector now supports cataloging of all nodes present in Talend jobs providing visibility into end-to-end lineage. Nodes not part of the current Talend scope are cataloged as tables with no column information. The nodes contain the following description:
If this is a transformation you would like to be cataloged in Alation, please submit an idea in the Ideas portal and we will evaluate your request.
(AL-174095)
Note
Column-level information won’t be available for nodes outside the scope of the Talend connector. Hence, end-to-end column-level lineage isn’t supported.
Support for tMap Column Lineage¶
The connector now enables you to view the column-level lineage between sources and targets using tMap transformation. You can also view the data flow between these nodes. (AL-174095)
Support for End-to-End Table Lineage¶
The connector now enables you to view the end-to-end lineage between all the components in Talend jobs in Alation. (AL-174095)
