Description
Hi, it is great that Oracle are looking at revamping the BI Admin tool. Our customer has asked if any new version of the admin tool could provide not only entity-relationship (physical / logical) diagrams, but also data lineage so we can see how data flows through the presentation --> business model --> physical layers.
The current Admin Tool allows you to select an object and view any related objects, which is useful, but is not ideal for data lineage/dictionary requirements.
To go one step further, it would be AMAZING if the data lineage would provide flows of data beyond the presentation layer and show the flow of objects into analyses, dashboards and also data viz projects and data sets. So we could select a physical column, for example, and see exactly which reports/dashboards use that column.
Thanks
Use Case and Business Need
This would help with impact analysis and help with data dictionary/lineage requirements that customer have, especially in a cloud environment where customers need to be 100% sure of what data flows where, and any logic applied en route.
Many customers have asked for this type of capability over the years I believe.
