What does Atlan crawl from Informatica CDI
During an Informatica Cloud Data Integration crawl, Atlan extracts metadata for Projects, Folders, Mapping Tasks, Mappings, Transformations, and Transformation Fields. Reference tables map each Informatica CDI property to its Atlan asset.
Atlan extracts metadata for Projects, Folders, Mapping Tasks, Mappings, Transformations, and Transformation Fields from Informatica Cloud Data Integration and maps each property to its internal asset model. The tables below list which Informatica CDI properties are read and how they appear on the corresponding Atlan asset.
The Informatica GUID (source system global unique identifier) for an object is available as part of the Atlan object Qualified Name (QN) and additionally in the flowId attribute (for SDK based consumption).

Atlan also supports Mapping Task (Advanced) and Dynamic Mapping Tasks. A dynamic mapping task can contain multiple jobs with different source and target configurations—Atlan captures lineage individually for every job. See Dynamic mapping task lineage for details on supported scenarios.
