Viewing Lineage Information for a Decision

About Lineage Information

The lineage viewer is provided by SAS Lineage. The relationship information displayed by SAS Lineage is taken from the Relationship database that is a part of the Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server. SAS Lineage can display most types of SAS metadata. This data includes models, rule flows, and data objects, including columns, tables, external files, stored processes, and more.
SAS Lineage displays three types of diagrams:
  • a network diagram that displays all relationships
  • a dependency diagram that displays governance information
  • a dependency diagram that displays parent and child relationships
