Analyzing repository items
Talend Studio provides you with advanced capabilities to identify all the Jobs that use a certain repository item and analyze the data flow in each of the listed Jobs.
This implies two forms of navigation: moving forward to discover descendant items up to the target component (Impact Analysis) and moving backward to discover the ancestor items starting with the source component (Data Lineage). The results of the analysis will determine where data comes from, how it is transformed, and where it is going or vice versa.
Information noteWarning: All items on which you want to execute impact analysis or data lineage
must be centralized in the Repository tree view under any of the
following nodes: Joblet Designs, Contexts,
SQL Templates, Referenced project, or
Metadata.
