Alas! We are still on version 11.3, and unlikely to upgrade to 11.5 this year.

Thank you for your answer.

Thank you so much. We will try that today.

From lineage reports the options are made available to save in PDF format, to print the flow diagram, or to save in CSV format. We are seeking to automate lineage reporting, to have specific data lineage reports produced on a regular basis. Is there any command line interface to produce a lineage re...

We are seeing exactly what Ray is describing.

Is there any way to include the actual transformation in data lineage reports? And, if so, how?

Thank you for your time.

We have established that data lineage handles changing a column name OK, for example across a Copy stage. We would like to have any transformation(s) that a column undergoes (at least in a Transformer stage, ideally in a Modify stage as well) to be reported in data lineage, as well as all the other ...

We looked at the link Craig posted, but can't see where it gives the version numbers. However the syntax does suggest that it's available pre-version 11 (since it's using port number 9080). Probably what was tricking us was that were were looking for it on the engine tier, whereas the link tells us ...

Does anyone happen to know whether the conversion tool for stage types deprecated in version 11.3 is available for, or even works with, version 9.1fp1? We're seeking to effect and test conversions before migrating jobs to version 11. Thank you for your time. We have searched here, Google and IBM, to...

Thank you again, Mr Ostic. Maybe we can add to our list of arguments justifying an upgrade.

Thank you for the replies. No doubt we are now steering the right path.

Is there any way to (automatically) monitor Business Glossary version 8.5 to determine when anything is changed in the glossary?

Please do NOT provide answers for later versions or advise upgrading.

Thank you for your time.

Our system is accumulating a lot of WLM logs (in $DSHOME/../DSWLM/logs). Is there any auto-purge setting for these? They seem to be ordinary text files. Presumably it is safe to delete them from the operating system level. Can someone please confirm this, and whether there is any value in keeping th...

We're about to commence our journey to better-governed data, with a particular need for data lineage.

Can you please share your tips, tricks and best practices around how to get data lineage to work as comprehensively as possible with minimal manual intervention?

Thank you for your time.

Are there any plans to allow Information Analyzer to use a Data Set as a source? It would be useful to be able to prepare data using DataStage then to profile the data.

We are getting pushback from our platform support team about the X11 libraries documented as prerequisites for installing Information Server on Linux. They are asserting that X11 libraries introduce "massive security holes" and are demanding to know what they are used for. I have searched ...

Support have indicated that they don't believe that there is a command line interface, but have undertaken to continue to search for one or to request its creation.

The bug has been reproduced by IBM and has been escalated to L3 support.
