Governance Action Service

A governance action service is a specialized connector that performs monitoring of metadata changes, validation of metadata, triage of issues, assessment and/or remediation activities on request.

There are five types of governance action services:

• Watchdog Governance Service Service listens for changes to metadata and initiates governance actions, governance action processes or an incident report.

• Verification Governance Action Service validates that the metadata elements, relationships and classification are set up as they should be. For example, it may check that a new asset has an owner, is set up with zones and includes a connection and a schema there possible. It produces guards that define what needs to be done.

• Triage Governance Action Service runs triage rules to determine how to manage a situation or request. Often this involves a human decision maker. It may initiate an external workflow, wait for manual decision or create a To Do for a specific person.

• Remediation Governance Action Service makes updates to metadata elements, relationships between them and classifications. Examples of remediation governance action services are duplicate linking and consolidating.

• Provisioning Governance Action Service invokes a provisioning service whenever a provisioning request is made. Typically the provisioning service is an external service. It may also create lineage metadata to describe the work of the provisioning engine.
