Prizm runs the following platform jobs against each SQL Server connector. Each job has a defined type, execution flow, and purpose. Select a job below to see the details.
What this job does: Extracts databases, schemas, tables, views, stored procedures, and functions from SQL Server system catalog views. This is the foundation job — all subsequent jobs depend on it completing successfully.
Prizm reads existing MS_Description extended properties and imports them as asset and attribute descriptions in the Prizm catalog. These are the descriptions written by SSMS or deployment scripts and visible in SQL Server Object Explorer.
