Associating Metadata for AI Matching

Before scheduling an AIMatch job, you need to associate metadata to any business asset catalogs in the Business Glossary Manager. When the AIMatch job runs, the AIMatch engine finds matches between the associated metadata and business assets in the catalogs. You can also configure the AIMatch for Sensitive Data Detection.

To associate metadata for AI match, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Application Menu > Data Literacy > Business Glossary Manager > Explore.
  2. By default, the business terms view is displayed in the Workspace pane.

  3. In the Workspace pane, right-click a catalog.
  4. The options available for the catalog appear.

  5. Hover over the AIMatch Configuration to click either of the following option:
    • for Associations
      Click this option to find matches between associated metadata and business terms.
    • for Sensitive Data Detection
      Click this option to detect sensitive data for associations.

    The Metadata Selection page appears. It displays a list of systems available in your erwin Data Intelligence Suite (DI Suite) ecosystem.

  1. Under System Listing, select the required systems and environments.
  2. From the Execute on option, select one of the following options:
    • Both:
      Use this option to use both, table and column names under the selected systems and environments to find matches.
    • Table Name:
      Use this option to use table names under the selected systems and environments to find matches.
    • Column Name:
      Use this option to use column names under the selected systems and environments to find matches.

      You can execute only the Column Name option to configure AIMatch job for Sensitive Data Detection.

  3. Click .
  4. The selected metadata is associated with the catalog.

Once metadata is associated with catalogs, you can schedule an AIMatch job to find matches between the associated metadata and business terms in the catalogs. For more information on scheduling AIMatch job, refer to the Configuring AIMatch Job topic.
