Possible wrong data lineage

Thu, 28 May 2015 12:25:16 GMT

I have a task of representing data lineage in a custom app, hence I have some questions regarding Governance Dashboard data lineage files stored in QVX_LastRun and QVX_LastRun-folder folders.

For me it seems like data from QVD_Historical\TableLineage.QVD or QVX_LastRun\QVDLineage.qvx shows wrong data lineage from time to time.

Let me demonstrate the information found in TableLineage.QVD (just 4 columns to show source and target):

From this picture it looks like D_EXCHANGE_RATES.QVD gets data from multiple QV tables (see LOADStatement). In reality it is only one of them, D_Exchange_Details, that populates the QVD-file.

Here is script code from D:\QLIKVIEW\LIVE\SOURCEDOCUMENTS\DM0005\QVD_Load_DM0005_ProjectLog.qvw showing how D_EXCHANGE_RATES.QVD gets populated:

D_Exchange_Rates:
LOAD
"EUR_TO_JPY" AS Exchange_Rates_EUR_to_JPY,
"EUR_TO_USD" AS Exchange_Rates_EUR_to_USD,
"JPY_TO_EUR" AS Exchange_Rates_JPY_to_EUR,
"JPY_TO_USD" AS Exchange_Rates_JPY_to_USD,
"USD_TO_EUR" AS Exchange_Rates_USD_to_EUR,
"USD_TO_JPY" AS Exchange_Rates_USD_to_JPY,
"XR_ID" AS Exchange_Rates_ID,
"TICKET_NUMBER" AS Exchange_Rates_Ticket_Number,
"RUN_NO" AS Exchange_Rates_Run_Number,
"PROCESS_RUN_NO" AS Exchange_Rates_Process_Run_Number;
SQL SELECT *
FROM $(vSchema)."D_EXCHANGE_RATES";

STORE D_Exchange_Rates INTO $(vFolder_QVD)\D_EXCHANGE_RATES.QVD (QVD);
DROP TABLE D_Exchange_Rates;

Note that same lineage is shown in QVX_LastRun\QVDLineage.qvx.

So, is the Governance Dashboard creating wrong lineage or should QVD_Historical\TableLineage.QVD or QVX_LastRun\QVDLineage.qvx

be joined with with some other QVD/QVX files in order to produce correct information?

Kind regards
