Oracle DB rules

Extract Tables: When enabled, Qlik Lineage Connectors gathers tables and fields definitions from the system table, together with some metadata surrounding them.

  • Include System Tables: Add Oracle-specific system tables to the overview.

Extract Views: When enabled, Qlik Lineage Connectors goes through the defined views in the database, and parses the definitions.

  • Include System Views: Include Oracle-specific system views in the overview.

  • Create view dependencies: If enabled, extract views not only gather the output from said views, but also the internal lineage and creates connections to the raw tables used in each view.

Extract Materialized Views: When enabled, Qlik Lineage Connectors goes through the defined materialized views in the database and parses the definitions.

  • Create materialized view dependencies: If enabled, Qlik Lineage Connectors parses the internal lineage and creates connections to the raw tables used in each view.

Schema Filter: The schema filter is used to decide what schemas to include. Star selection is allowed for wildcard support.

Folder Alias

A folder alias will synchronize the different references that a connector may read from. For example, an application may refer to a folder as \\mssql01-prod\sources but in a script it is referred to as \\mssql01-prod.company.com\sources. In this case, the two different references point to the same folder, but it will not appear like that in the lineage graphs. By adding the alias, the resource name will be synchronized, and the graphs will reconcile.
