QVD Lineage by Gitoqlok offers a clear and organized display of all QVD files generated or referenced by a specific Qlik application. It allows users to trace the origins and destinations of their data effortlessly.
By mapping out these connections, users gain critical insights into their data ecosystem, enhancing their ability to manage their Qlik applications.
- How It Works -
The QVD Files Lineage feature is embedded within the Gitoqlok extension in the Chrome Side Panel, providing an intuitive and accessible interface. Here’s a look at how it functions:
1️⃣ Integration with Soterre: Gitoqlok integrates with Soterre, leveraging its APIs to fetch metadata about QVD files.
2️⃣ Data Mapping: The feature fetches QVD files to identify all generated and referenced QVD files for a currently opened application.
3️⃣ Lineage: It then details the usage of said QVD files by other applications to visualize relationships in the Chrome Side Panel, allowing users to see a clear lineage of their data.
4️⃣ Interactive Exploration: Users can interact with the QVDs list by clicking on app hyperlinks, which allows effortless discovery of associations between apps that operate on the same data.
