What does Atlan crawl from IBM Cognos Analytics?

Atlan crawls and maps the following assets and properties from IBM Cognos Analytics.

Atlan also supports lineage:

  • For packages, files, reports, and modules.
  • To upstream sources - Microsoft SQL Server and Snowflake.

Field-level lineage is currently not supported.

Atlan generates the sourceURL property for IBM Cognos Analytics assets using a combination of the host, port, and id of the asset. This allows Atlan to help you view your assets directly in IBM Cognos Analytics from the asset profile.

  • Direct extraction - in addition to id, Atlan obtains the host and port values from the credentials you provided while setting up a crawler workflow.
  • Offline extraction - in addition to id, Atlan obtains the host and port values from the parameters with which the offline extractor is executed.
