Accessing metadata services

WebSphere^® DataStage™ and WebSphere QualityStage users can access the WebSphere Metadata Server to obtain live access to current metadata about integration projects and enterprise data. Data generated by WebSphere MetaBrokers or WebSphere Information Analyzer is accessible from the WebSphere DataStage and QualityStage Designer.

The following services provide designers with access to metadata:

Simple and advanced find: Enables the WebSphere QualityStage user to search the repository for objects. Two functions are available: a simple find capability and a more complex advanced find capability.
Where used or impact analysis: Enables the WebSphere QualityStage user to show both “used by” and “depends on” relationships.
Job, Table, or Routine Difference: Enables the WebSphere QualityStage user to see difference reports that show change in integration processes or data.
