Base URL of links to Manta lineage in the format http(s)://<host>:<port>/<application context>

manta.iedc.mantaLineageLink.type

Type of link to the Manta lineage exported to EDC

A Permalink (the original one, being the default option now) always points to the latest revision—this is useful as there is always an up-to-date link pointing to the very latest revision available in IBM Automatic Data Lineage. Revision-based links point to the exact revision from which the export was made—this is desirable in cases where the latest revision may have different content, making the permalink invalid.

Default value: Permalink

Keystore Certificate for HTTPS Connection to EDC

EDC uses a secure HTTPS connection by default. In order to establish a secure connection from Automatic Data Lineage to EDC, a signed certificate from EDC needs to be added to Automatic Data Lineage's list of trusted certificates.

  1. Log in to the EDC instance by using a web browser. (The instructions below are written for Chrome, but any browser can be used.)

  2. (Chrome) Click the padlock to the left of the address bar, and then, select Certificate from the menu that appears.

  3. (Chrome) Click the Detail tab and then the Copy to File... button.

  4. (Chrome) Run the wizard by using the default settings to export the certificate.

  5. Open a new command window.

  6. Go to Admin UI > Configuration > CLI > Common Config > Manta Connectors Truststore and upload the certificate there.
