Install the Jobserver

The Jobserver is used to ingest data and to execute data profiling or to create sample data on the ingested data. You can ingest data when you register a data source.

The Jobserver must be installed on a dedicated server.

Tip 

When you install an on-premises Jobserver for use in a Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud environment, you also have to install Collibra Console, to manage and configure this Jobserver. You can install both services on the same server.

You can find the version of your Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud environment at the bottom of the sign-in window, for example 2021.10.3. Always use the latest available on-premises installer to install the Jobserver.

If you don't have a Jobserver installed and configured in your environment, the Register data source action will be grayed out in the global create menu of Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud.

Steps

Use this drop-down to select your operating system:

Tip For the installation on Linux without root permissions, also read the services section.

Note  If you want to configure the init daemon on Linux systems, you have to execute an unattended installation. For more information, see also the unattended installation configuration parameters.

Note Anti-virus and/or security software may block the installation on Windows. Make sure that these allow the installation of software and services.
For more information, see also the Collibra University course.

  1. Run the installer on a dedicated server:
    • Linux as user with sudo rights: sudo ./dgc-linux-5.7.10-0.sh
      Linux as root user: ./dgc-linux-5.7.10-0.sh
    • Linux as standard user: ./dgc-linux-5.7.10-0.sh
    • Windows Server: double-click setup.bat

      Important The path of the installer file cannot contain spaces.


      If you run the installation without Administrator rights, an error is shown.

    Tip If you don't want to use the user interface even if it's available, add the following to the command:
    -- --nox11
