Data Catalog Workflow
A workflow is available to follow the different states of a data catalog:
Preparation
Validation
Update
Production
It can be instantiated by the owner of the data catalog and any manager assigned to it can participate in its progress.
Notifications are sent to the different managers whenever the status of the data catalog changes.
You can define the managers of a data catalog in the catalog properties, under the Characteristics > Responsibilities page.
