2021: Enterprise Data Catalog 10.5 on Nomad and Mongo DB

Informatica has upgraded Enterprise Data Catalog to version 10.5. This was announced on June 30, 2021 by the DIS Group. One of the most significant changes was the upgrade of the architecture: the solution will move from the Hadoop platform to Nomad and Mongo DB. Changing the technological stack will not affect the work of users: the developers provided for the possibility of seamlessly switching to an updated version with the preservation of all data. In addition, users can use the step-by-step guide to quickly migrate to the platform.

Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog retained all the functionality that was available in previous versions, and the requirements for computing resources for the solution also did not change. In the updated version of Enterprise Data Catalog, scanners have been added to connect to source information systems, parse SQL code and stored procedures, and the search and output system interface has been updated. A panel of additional information about search engine objects appears, which displays data on the date of the last scan, responsible persons, data lineage, as well as description, assigned terms and other useful information.

The enhanced analytics section in Enterprise Data Catalog allows you to view statistics on the quality of development in Informatica PowerCenter, an industrial platform designed for integration, synchronization, data migration, and data warehousing. In the updated version of the catalog, key metrics about resources, folders, and workflows (workflows) will be available to users to analyze quality and optimize development on the PowerCenter.

Developers have improved the functionality of Similarity Discovery - it allows you to logically group resources to identify similar columns, manage detection methods and accumulate a history of results. This will allow users to improve the speed and accuracy of identifying similar columns and manage the life cycle of the process of involving and linking source system structures with the terminology of the business glossary.

An Enterprise Data Catalog step-by-step user guide has also been added to get to know the tool quickly and get started. In addition, the change tracking interface for data sources has been updated.

{{quote 'The Data Asset Analytics tool allows you to understand which reports or displays are most often used in your company. This is important because when you work with a large amount of data and systems, IT does not always understand where the main array of business data is concentrated.

Thanks to Data Asset Analytics, developers understand where most of the resources need to be allocated, and which layers of storage can be decommissioned and not serviced, because they are not in demand by users, "said Oleg Hyatsintov, technical director of DIS Group. }}
