Hi,
In general, you could view the Data Lineage of a view under the Data Catalog web tool > navigate to the corresponding view > Data Lineage tab. The Data Lineage for a view can be viewed regardless of the metadata database configured in the Denodo Data Catalog (eg. Derby, External Metadata). I suggest to refer to the [**Lineage of Views**](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/vdp/data_catalog/views/lineage_of_views) documentation for more information.
Additionally, please be informed that, the metadata for the [**Data Catalog**](https://community.denodo.com/tutorials/browse/datadiscovery/5metadata) is different as compared to the VDP’s metadata. To view the Data Lineage of a view in VDP (as similar using Data Catalog), you could use the predefined stored procedure [**Column Dependencies**](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/vdp/vql/stored_procedures/predefined_stored_procedures/column_dependencies) to view the Data Lineage. This stored procedure gives programmatically the same information that the Virtual Data Port admin Tool displays in the [**Data Lineage**](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/vdp/administration/creating_derived_views/data_lineage/data_lineage) dialog (graphically) for the derived views.
Hope this helps!
