Manta Flow IBM IGC Architecture

Manta Flow for IBM IGC has two major components.

• Manta Flow CLI — Java command line application that extracts all scripts from source databases and repositories, analyzes them, sends all gathered metadata to the Manta Flow Server, and finally processes and uploads the generated export to IBM IGC
• Manta Flow Server — Java server application that stores all gathered metadata inside its metadata repository, transforms it to a form suitable for import to IBM IGC, and provides it to its visualization or third-party applications via API

The following diagram illustrates Manta Flow IGC architecture, components, and interactions with third-party resources.

Both components can be deployed to the same physical/virtual server, even to the same server as IBM IGC, provided that there are sufficient resources available. Manta UI is accessed through a web-based interface, so there is no need to install anything on the end-user machine.
