Finalization metadata
definition
Finalized metadata is used to display table-level metadata information that has been finalized or released. It is a stable version after confirming and solidifying the latest metadata. Users can view the confirmed data table structure, field information, version number, source system and business description through finalized metadata, making it easier to reference stable and credible metadata versions in scenarios such as data asset management, standard marking, lineage analysis and data service release.
Core competencies:
- ✅ Finalization query: Supports filtering finalization metadata based on source system, table name, table comments, library name, etc.;
- 📄 Finalization information display: display table-level attributes such as the library name, table name, table comments, description, etc.;
- 🔍 View details: Supports viewing basic information, technical information and business information of finalized metadata;
- 📋 Field list view: Supports viewing field names, field types, field comments, whether it is a primary key, whether it is a foreign key, and other field details;
Things to note
Finalized metadata is usually used for external reference and governance process flow, and the version should be kept stable. When viewing or referencing the finalized metadata, you should pay attention to whether the release status and field structure meet the requirements of the current business scenario; if you need to adjust the table structure or business description, you should first complete the maintenance and confirmation in the latest metadata, and then proceed with the finalized transfer.
