Architector Data Tools

Lineage Manager Understanding and managing data lineage is a vital part of good data management. Architector’s Lineage Manager provides all the tools a Data Steward needs to create complete and meaningful views of data lineage. Physical and business metadata can be defined or imported, and related to complex business structures to create the complete picture. Lineage Manager guides you through the steps required to create data lineage, and even monitors the quality of metadata in the system. Used by Data stewards to manage metadata, Lineage Manager is also provides unlimited view access so that everybody in an organisation can explore the complex journeys that data takes. Lineage Manager truly brings data lineage to life, making it a valuable resource for the entire organisation. Data Lineage Diagrams Lineage Manager assembles metadata to automatically draw meaningful and complete views of the data lineage. The tool produces data lineage diagrams in a variety of formats, focusing on Processes, Datastores or Applications. Each format has a different levels of detail and content. You can specify a start or end point and Lineage Manager will draw only lineage relating to those points. Technical metadata (e.g. column names) is displayed alongside business metadata (e.g. Business Glossary name). Lineage Manager understands the structure of an Organisation, its Business Processes, Applications, Datatores, and all the relevant relationships between those. It understands how physical data is affected by change, by regulation, and by company policy. This understanding can be plotted along a data lineage for a visual representation, and the metadata repository maintained within the tool can be fully searched, filtered and reported on.
