Manta Process Manager
Manta Process Manager is a tool that facilitates the launch of individual scenarios. The scenarios are grouped into execution units called workflows, which the user creates. A given workflow only defines what scenarios to run; it does not express their order or parallelism. The order is determined and orchestrated by Manta Process Manager during the execution of a particular workflow. The advantages of using Manta Process Manager are:
-
Users can easily define new workflows in addition to the ones provided by default.
-
Manta Process Manager can run some scenarios in parallel and thus improve overall Manta Data Lineage scan performance.
-
Process Manager features are available via Manta Orchestration API ( MANTA Orchestration API), allowing users to define and execute Manta workflows without having to access the machine Manta Data Lineage is installed on.
For existing IBM Manta Data Lineage users, one of the major advantages of using Process Manager over traditional Manta CLI scripts is that, in addition to having everything controlled via browser user interface, users and Manta Data Lineage administrators do not have to bother with Manta Data Lineage internal scenarios such as the new revision scenario, the commit revision scenario, and the repository postprocessing scenario. These scenarios are, by default, added to the workflow definition automatically.
