Add an Edge capability to an Edge site

After you have created and installed an Edge site, you can add an Edge capability to perform specific tasks on a data source. For example, you can register a data source using a JDBC connection that belongs to an Edge capability.

Prerequisites

• You have a global role that has the System administration global permission.
• You have a global role with the Manage connections and capabilities global permission, for example Edge integration engineer.
• You have a global role with the Register profiling information global permission. (optional)
• You have created and installed an Edge site.
• You have created a JDBC connection.

Steps

1. Open an Edge site.
   1. On the main menu, click , and then click Settings.
      The Collibra settings page opens.
   2. In the tab pane, click Edge.
      The Edge sites overview appears.
   3. In the Edge site overview, click the name of an Edge site with the status Healthy.
      The Edge site page appears.
2. In the Capabilities section, click Add capability.
   The Add capability page appears.
3. Enter the required information.

   Supports schemas	A text field where you have to enter True to enable database registration of data sources that have no schema. If the data source has schemas, you can ignore this field. Tip If the data source does not have a schema, Data Catalog creates a Schema asset with the same name as the full name of the database.	No
   Others	This section can contain additional capability properties. Warning Adding additional properties can have a significant impact on your Edge site. Only add or update them together with Collibra Support. Click Add property to add a property. The possible properties are: Show properties Name Description Type Encryption Default value garbage-collector The garbage collector that is used by the capability. For information about other possibilities, see AZUL documentation. Text Not encrypted (plain text) -XX:+UseParallelGC requests-cpu The minimum amount of CPU computing power requested by the capability. The amount is expressed in milliCPU. Text Not encrypted (plain text) 1000 limits-cpu The maximum amount of CPU computing power requested by the capability. The amount is expressed in milliCPU. Text Not encrypted (plain text) 2000 requests-memory The minimum amount of memory requested by the capability. The amount is expressed in mebibytes (Mi). Important If you add this property, you also need to add the properties: limits-memory and jvm-max-memory. Text Not encrypted (plain text) 2048 limits-memory The maximum amount of memory requested by the capability. The amount is expressed in mebibytes (Mi). Important If you add this property, you also need to add the properties: requests-memory and jvm-max-memory. Text Not encrypted (plain text) 4096 jvm-max-memory The maximum amount of memory that can be used by the Java virtual machine (jvm). The amount is expressed in mebibytes (Mi). Warning Make sure this amount is lower than the limits-memory amount. Important If you add this property, you also need to add the properties: requests-memory and limits-memory. Text Not encrypted (plain text) 3072 Click Add property to add a property. The possible properties are: Show properties Name Description Type Encryption Default value ingest-schema-garbage-collector The garbage collector that is used by the capability.

Text Not encrypted (plain text) 128 ingest-schema-limits-memory The maximum amount of memory requested by the capability. The amount is expressed in mebibytes (Mi). Important If you add this property, you also need to add the properties: ingest-schema-requests-memory and ingest-schema-jvm-max-memory. Text Not encrypted (plain text) 256 ingest-schema-jvm-max-memory The maximum amount of memory that can be used by the Java virtual machine (jvm). The amount is expressed in mebibytes (Mi). Warning Make sure this amount is lower than the ingest-schema-limits-memory amount. Important If you add this property, you also need to add the properties: ingest-schema-requests-memory and ingest-schema-limits-memory. Text Not encrypted (plain text) 256 Note No validation is performed on the values you add.	No
