Accessing Data Lineage

You can use data lineage to determine where metadata originates, so you can track how changes to data sources can affect data that clients are consuming.

To view data lineage

Open a view that you have created from an SAP BW BEx.

1.

Select the SQL tab.

2.

Click the Show Lineage Panel toolbar button on the editor toolbar.

The Lineage panel opens in the lower section of the view’s editor and displays all the resources involved with the view in a graphical format. Descriptions for how to interpret this information can be found in the TDV User Guide.
