    Notes

    There are two levels of the Data Catalog. The 'exportDataCatalog' function retrieves the data catalog based on the materialized model, encompassing comprehensive information about tables, columns (both visible and invisible), measures, relationships, translations, and more. On the other hand, 'getUserDataCatalog' retrieves information about dimensions, measures, and calculations that the end-user has permission to access.
