Atlan uses the Microsoft Azure Data Factory REST API to generate lineage associated with Microsoft Azure Data Factory connectors. This is particularly useful for creating lineage between different tools.

Atlan currently only supports lineage for the following:

  • Supported sources and sinks listed below.
  • Data loaded through supported activities in data factory pipelines.
warning

The assets involved in lineage must already be crawled by Atlan before running the Microsoft Azure Data Factory package to enrich them.

Specifically, Atlan:

  • Creates lineage between each data asset in Atlan that's associated with a supported Microsoft Azure Data Factory connector. (For example, between Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB collections and ADLS objects.)
    • Atlan creates Microsoft Azure Data Factory Process objects for each data asset that's replicated. Learn more about processes here.
