Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog Advanced Scanners

The enterprise data landscape is very complex and consists of hundreds of data sources like databases, warehouses, legacy mainframe systems, enterprise, and SaaS applications, Hadoop and Spark clusters, and data lakes having data at a petabyte scale. These data sources are spread across a multi-cloud environment, and in most cases, it is very difficult to fetch and understand the data.


Enterprises headed on their journey of digital transformation often find it extremely difficult to extract, understand, and track data dependencies across data sources and scripting languages. Additionally, regulations, enterprise data governance, and other data-driven digital initiatives require extensive audit trails to ensure that no risk is left unaddressed. This necessitates that you can track data and its transformations at a granular level across the data lifecycle, from source to target, and across data pipelines.


Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog is powered by the metadata-driven intelligence in the Informatica® CLAIRE® AI engine and offers the most advanced scanners that extract deep metadata and lineage from a variety of multi-cloud data sources. This facilitates the analysis of data dependencies and data issues and provides you with a better understanding of the impact of proposed changes.



Key Features

  • Faster Data Cataloging Powered by Deep Metadata Extraction and End-to-End Data Lineage 
    Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog Advanced Scanners empowers you to extract metadata and derive detailed data lineage from multiple data sources (even the most complex ones) and across multi-cloud environments. Enterprise Data Catalog Advanced Scanners extract detailed data lineage and address the most complicated data lineage requirements.

    Enterprise Data Catalog Advanced Scanners provides you with a more elaborate understanding of the logic and internal data flow by allowing you to inspect every script, procedure, or process. It provides you with a comprehensive view of the data lineage and all its sources so that you better understand each data transformation occurring within an enterprise. You can speed up your data-driven digital transformation initiatives with full transparency, control, auditability, and confidence, with this level of deep metadata understanding.


  • Databases and Scripting Languages
    Enterprise Data Catalog Advanced Scanners allow you to extract detailed data lineage from a range of SQL dialects at scale. Extracted data lineage offers comprehensive visibility into procedure calls with parameter tracking, dynamic SQL generation from values based on parameters, database queries, and more. Views, procedures, functions, triggers, macros, external tables, and other objects are supported. Analysis can be performed both online and offline.


  • ETL Tools
    You can use Enterprise Data Catalog Advanced Scanners to extract metadata and lineage information from a variety of multi-vendor ETL tools. The granular-level details let you achieve end-to-end data lineage, including column-level lineage and transformation logic, from and to systems connected by ETL tools. It gives you a clear view of each component of an ETL operation and provides quick access to every expression being applied to the data.


  • Legacy and Mainframe Systems
    Only a fairly skilled developer can understand the applied data transformations in the case of custom applications built on scripts and codes, as well as legacy and mainframe COBOL systems. This problem is completely resolved by Enterprise Data Catalog Advanced Scanners. They provide you with the most comprehensive, end-to-end data lineage views for your legacy and mainframe assets. You can extract transformation logic and provide detailed insights into the lineage, allowing better management, transparency, and governance by offering the application to more users.


  • Complex Enterprise Applications
    Enterprise Data Catalog Advanced Scanners allow you to extract metadata, lineage, and relationships for more convenient data access for all users. It allows you to track even the most complex data lines end-to-end between SAP and third-party corporate apps, databases, and business intelligence tools. You can get a comprehensive view of how data is changed across SAP technologies and linked systems.
