Overview

Community Offerings” are offerings published by third parties or Collibra within the Collibra Marketplace community.  Community Offerings are free and made available “as is” by Collibra.  Your master commercial agreement with Collibra for the Collibra Service DOES NOT apply to your use of the Community Offerings (including any warranties, support services and service levels referenced therein).   Your use of Community Offerings is subject to the Collibra Marketplace License Agreement, as may be modified from time to time by Collibra.  Collibra encourages users to seek assistance for Community Offerings from peers and other Data Citizens via the Collibra Community platform.

The main purpose of the OMRE
  • Audit trail of the all Operating Model objects
  • Change management of the Operating Model
  • Additional functionality that will bring more flexibility in the management of the Operating Model

Possible use case scenarios

  • Explore Operating Model objects as regular assets and relations without Admin role
  • View various diagrams to help understand the model with all asset types and (complex) relation types between them (it will help during the design of the custom asset model)
  • Find all dependencies between objects to assess the impact of the changes, e.g.: which Operating Model objects will be impacted in case of attribute type removing
  • Check which asset types are using particular attribute type before changing its description or number of possible values
  • See who and when created/changed the Operating model object
  • See how many objects have been created/updated/deleted since your last OMRE export
  • Propose changes to the existing Operating Model objects (e.g. description of the attribute type) review, approve and implement them through the workflow
  • Find which users or user groups are assigned to a given role
  • Find some gaps and mistakes in the Operating Model – unused objects, empty domains, overlapping scopes etc.
  • Check how existing asset types are governed by showing all workflows which are assigned to the particular asset type

Release History

Version 1.2.0
February 21, 2024
Release Notes
  • fixed minor bugs
  • in the past if there was a custom asset created in one of the domains in the Operating Model community and if this asset didn’t have UUID attribute type the OMRE workflow could fail in the middle of the extraction process. Starting from v1.1.2 OMRE process will be checking such assets in the beginning of the execution and will be stopped immediately
  • the new attribute type “Sequence Number” has been added to the Complex Relation Type “Assignment Characteristics” so now it’s possible to control changes in the position of the assignment’s characteristics

Release Notes
  • fixed bug with disabled workflows which have been extracted twice
  • added counters which will be shown in the log-file during the Operating Model extraction and will make this process more transparent
  • information about who started the workflow will be added to the report, as well as the start time and end time of the extraction
  • the final report with information about how many assets have been extracted/updated/deleted as well as who and when was extracting the Operating Model will be added to the comments of the Operating Model community

Seems like this would be very helpful for our goal to establish collibra model change managment. However, have a couple of queries:
1. Is this compatible with Collibra 2021.02.1?
2. Additionally, the full cma simulation report highlights 3 changed resources: 1 resource type (change – allowed values) and 2 views:attestable (change – config for both views). Want to understand what the impact of the view change would be?

I am getting this error when trying to run the worflow from .
“The workflow could not be started. No enabled users were found for role ‘Business Steward’,role ‘Subject Matter Expert’.”

I have users assigned to this and both of them are also Community Managers for “Operating Model”.

Which workflow are you trying to start? If it’s about “OMRE – Description Update” then you’re right, you have to have somebody assigned on this resource with ‘Business Steward’ and ‘Subject Matter Expert’ roles.

Workflow runs almost 1/2 hour and then fails with error “java.util.NoSuchElementException: Cannot access first() element from an empty List” . Is this known issue?
