SSRS OCF Connector: Version 1.3.1¶
Fixed Issues¶
Metadata Extraction Fails for Dataset Fields With No Field Source Name¶
Metadata Extraction fails for dataset fields for which the field source name is missing in the API response.
The issue is resolved.
Now, the connector proceeds with Metadata Extraction for dataset fields with no field source value in embedded and shared datasets. When the field source value is not provided for a dataset in SSRS, the connector extracts the field name as the field source to set the dataset field name. (AL-175404)

SSRS OCF Connector: Version 1.3.0¶
Enhancements¶
Improved Extraction Features¶
The connector now extracts dataset fields and embedded datasets that are visible in the Catalog and the Lineage graph. (AL-171523)
Support for Lineage¶
The connector now supports table-level and column-level lineage with SQL Server as the connector extracts SQL query, host and port connection information of SQL server-based datasets. This enables Alation to support lineage mapping between RDBMS tables, datasets and reports. (AL-171523)
Note
Column-level lineage is supported when the names of the RDBMS table columns, dataset and report fields names match.
