    Description

    Database profiling via Edge

    An option to enable profiling and classifying synchronized metadata via Edge instead of Jobserver.

    • True: Profiling and classification via Edge.
    • False: Profile via Jobserver and classify via the Data Classification Platform.

    Note You can only enable Database profiling via Edge if you also enabled Database registration via Edge.

    Parallel database profiling via Edge

    The maximum number of databases that Edge can profile and classify at the same time.

    Note Schemas in a database are always processed sequentially.

    By default, the value of the setting is one. This means Edge processes one profiling job at a time. The maximum value is four.
    If you change this setting, you must restart Collibra.
