Has anyone successfully integrated Ab Initio lineage into an active Data Catalog (e.g., Collibra, Alation, Purview)? What challenges did you face with run_program or trash components?
Here is the reality check: Ab Initio isn't just running SQL; it’s running . Traditional column-level lineage tools struggle with Ab Initio’s proprietary .mp (graph) format, custom components, and complex looping constructs.
If your data platform runs on Ab Initio, stop relying on "visual inspection" or external spreadsheets. Invest in automated, graph-aware lineage . It turns a 3-hour "Where does this column come from?" fire drill into a 30-second answer.
Beyond the GUI: Why Ab Initio Data Lineage is a Game Changer for Trust and Troubleshooting
