# See it in action

It is assumed that you have set up your system for data lineage. If you have not already done so, see [Setup](/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/advanced-topics-pentaho-data-integration-overview/data-lineage/setup.md) for data lineage.

1. Save a transformation which contains a step you want to explore with the analyzer. (In the sample, use the Table Input step).
2. Connect a remote debugger to PDI on port 5005. Enter a breakpoint in your step analyzer's implementation.
3. Execute your transformation from PDI.

   You should hit your breakpoint when the step you are exploring is assessed by the transformation analyzer.

The execution will generate a GraphML file (along with an execution profile) for the transformation. You can find these files in `data-integration/pentaho-lineage-output/<Date of execution>/original/path/to/the/file/`. You can use a tool such as yEd to view the GraphML files.

**Note:** Working with yEd can be difficult. We have created a configuration for yEd to help ease the pain of viewing these graphs which you can access here: [https://github.com/pentaho/pentaho-engineering-samples/tree/master/Supplementary Files/yED Configuration Files](https://github.com/pentaho/pentaho-engineering-samples/tree/master/Supplementary%20Files/yED%20Configuration%20Files) Read the `readme.txt` file for help.

**Note:** In yEd, you will need to apply a layout to view the graph properly. Otherwise, all of the nodes will overlap each other.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/advanced-topics-pentaho-data-integration-overview/data-lineage/contribute-additional-step-and-job-entry-analyzers-to-the-pentaho-metaverse/examples/see-it-in-action.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
