• 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 lets 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.
