FAQ

Actian Data Intelligence Platform eliminates manual lineage tracing through automated discovery and mapping. The platform uses metadata to automatically track data transformations across your entire ecosystem, from source systems to downstream applications, creating comprehensive lineage graphs from various data sources without requiring manual intervention.

Actian captures relationships between databases, applications, ETL processes, and reports, enabling your team to focus on strategic data architecture decisions rather than tedious documentation tasks.

Actian provides field-level lineage visibility for visualization tools (such as Power BI & Tableau) that trace individual data elements through complex transformations. The platform tracks how specific columns, attributes, and data points flow from source tables to target destinations.

Actian displays these relationships through interactive visualization, allowing you to click on any field and instantly see its complete transformation journey. This granular tracking enables precise impact analysis when schema changes occur, helping data engineers quickly identify which downstream systems will be affected by upstream modifications.

Actian’s interactive lineage graph provides a visual, user-friendly interface that allows users to easily navigate through their data’s lifecycle. Unlike traditional lineage tools that present static documentation, our interactive graph enables users to click on any time to get a comprehensive 360° view, including documentation, relationships to other assets, and detailed metadata.

The visual representation makes complex data transformations easy to interpret and understand, while the interactive nature allows for dynamic exploration of data relationships. This approach transforms data lineage from a technical documentation exercise into a user-friendly tool accessible to both technical and business users across the organization.

A data lineage graph delivers significant business value through:

  • Improved Data Trust: Organizations gain visibility into data transformations, enabling them to verify accuracy, completeness, and trustworthiness before making critical decisions.
  • Enhanced Decision-Making Capabilities: Teams understand data relationships and can identify potential issues before they impact business operations.
  • Reduced Operational Risks: Enhanced context and transparency help maintain confidence in data-driven insights across your organization.

Lineage tracking empowers teams to understand the relationships between data, identify potential issues before they impact business operations, and maintain confidence in data-driven insights across the organization.

Actian’s data lineage graph empowers users to perform comprehensive impact analysis, preventing costly downstream failures and enabling confident change management across complex data environments.

Key Capabilities Include:

  • Proactive Change Assessment: Visualize exactly which downstream systems, reports, and processes will be impacted before making modifications to source systems.
  • Automated Dependency Mapping: Automatically trace relationships across databases, ETL processes, analytics tools, and business applications.
  • Field-Level Impact Tracking: Trace where a field originated and how it changes throughout your data ecosystem.
  • Data Quality Status: Quickly verify the state of your data across your pipeline.

Our data lineage graph enables you to minimize business disruption and ensure data integrity.
