Matillion Manual Inputs

By default, Manta Flow extracts Matillion jobs and environments from the configured Matillion server and then analyzes the data flows in them. It is also possible to analyze the data flows in the manually-provided Matillion objects exported through its user interface. In this case:

• Copy all JSON files exported using the Project → Export menu and containing metadata about orchestration/transformation jobs, environments, and environment variables to the <MANTA_DIR_HOME>/input/matillion/${matillion.extractor.server}/<PROJECT_GROUP_NAME>/<PROJECT_NAME>/<PROJECT_VERSION_NAME> directory, where matillion.extractor.server identifies the Matillion instance and the names of the created subdirectories will respectively match the names of the project group, the project, and its version of the exported jobs.

• Copy all MELT files exported using the Project → Manage Shared Jobs → Export menu and containing metadata about user-defined shared jobs used in analyzed orchestration jobs to the <MANTA_DIR_HOME>/input/matillion/${matillion.extractor.server} directory.

For successful analysis, it may be necessary to also provide IBM Automatic Data Lineage with a special configuration text file if user-defined shared jobs were used in some of the analyzed orchestration jobs. Create this file in the <MANTA_DIR_HOME>/input/matillion/${matillion.extractor.server}/sharedJobsConfig.txt location, and fill it in as described in Matillion Resource Configuration.
