Description Reference Number

On Windows computer, if a job fails when you have checkpoint functionality enabled, it is possible that a checkpoint file might not be cleaned up properly.

N/a

IGC:

Description Reference Number
  • after import of ETL assets user needs to run graph batchload in order to see the assets in the graph. this limitation results in the following behavior: when user imports ETL assets with lineage relationships (e.g. jobs with stages) flow_modify exvents are sent but they apply to assets which are not yet in the graph so are ignored. To see the assets user runs graph batchload but this only load assets and not lineage relationships. TO see the relationships the user will need to do the detection of lineage relationships (either in UI or REST API)
  • the flow relationships are displayed in the graph even after the "Include for lineage" is changed to false. The flow relationships are only removed from graph after the asset itself is deleted
  • after deleting an ETL asset e.g. connector, the flow relationship will dissapear from graph but the asset itself will remain. 
N/a
Update Synchronizing assets manually with information about what types would work in import  0732864
Custom relationship value cannot be set in the Information Governance Catalog New when the custom relationship target is more than one asset type.  When editing an asset in Information Governance Catalog New, you can only edit custom relationship values when the custom relationship target type is single asset type. Workaround: Use Information Governance Catalog classic user interface to update such custom relationship values. N/a

-Information Governance Catalog New:

Description Reference Number
When workflow is enabled in Information Governance Catalog New, the queries available under Catalog / Queries only show glossary assets which are published and not glossary assets in the draft state. N/a
Deleting multiple Notes from the asset details view might result in the page loading hang. A workaround is to delete Notes one by one. N/a
Editing value of a Custom Attribute of type relationship having multiple target asset types is not supported. There is no workaround for this issue. N/a
Data preview does not work when trying to access a data source using Kerberos authentication. There is no workaround for this issue. N/a
Editing an Automation Rule containing a reference to a label which has been removed, can result in the Save action not finishing properly - the symptom will be loading spinner spinning forever. Workaround: delete the rule and recreate it so that it does not contain the non-existing label. N/a
In the Monitoring dashboard accessed from Information Governance Catalog New or from Governance Monitor, the drilldown from Quality Score Distribution chart (clicking on the chart to see more results) does not work, which manifests itself as loading a blank page. There is no workaround for this issue at the moment. N/a
Data preview does not work on Data files or Tables associated with a connection having Kerberos authentication configured. This is currently a limitation and has no workaround. N/a
Quality dashboard in the Monitoring area of Information Governance Catalog New does not allow to drill down on the bar chart for Quality Score Distribution. A similar issue can be observed also in the Governance Monitor Quality dashboard. There is no workaround for this issue.
