Dataedo Portable is a lightweight distribution of Dataedo Desktop packaged as a portable ZIP archive. It allows database administrators and data stewards to run the platform’s schema documentation and data metadata management software directly on Windows without executing a formal system installer. Key Characteristics & Deployment
Zero-Installation Footprint: Users can deploy Dataedo Desktop using either a traditional Windows installer or the portable ZIP package.
Manual File Associations: Unlike the standard installer, which automatically registers .dataedo and .dataedocmd file formats with the operating system, the portable version requires you to manually configure these file associations if needed.
Host Environment: It runs strictly as a Windows desktop application. Standard Functional Capabilities
Even when run from the portable package, the application retains the core features of the Dataedo Desktop interface:
Metadata Ingestion: Connects directly to target data sources (such as SQL Server, Oracle, or cloud data warehouses) via native or ODBC connectors to extract schemas.
Data Dictionary Authoring: Empowers data stewards to document columns, tables, and views, as well as manually build user-defined relations or missing primary keys.
Sensitive Data Tagging: Identifies and labels fields containing sensitive information to support regulatory compliance standards like GDPR or PII.
Export Profiles: Generates standalone database documentation files in interactive HTML, PDF, or Microsoft Excel formats for offline sharing. Architecture Context Dataedo – Data Governance and Data Quality Platform
