Add the Catalog JDBC Sampling capability

After you have configured the settings for sample data, and you have created a JDBC Edge connection for your data source, you need to add the Catalog JDBC Sampling capability to the connection.

• The Catalog JDBC Sampling capability consists of two possible operations:
  • Extracting the sample data, which collects the data from a data source and caches the data on the Edge site.
  • Reading the sample data, which reads sample data from the Edge cache and returns it as a result of an API call or displays it in an asset page.
• Once the capability is selected, define the JDBC connection to which the capability applies.

Before you begin

• You have created and installed an Edge site.
• You have created a JDBC connection for your data source.

Required permissions

• 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.

Steps

1. Open an Edge site.
   1. On the main menu, click , and then click Settings.
      The 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.

   Field	Description	Required
   Capability	This section contains the general information about the capability.
   Name	The name of the Edge capability.	Yes
   Description	The description of the Edge capability.	No
   Capability template	The capability template, which determines the next available sections. Select the following Edge capability: Catalog JDBC Sampling	Yes
   Connection	This section contains information to connect to the data source.
   JDBC connection	The connection to the data source.	Yes
   General	This section contains general information about logging.
   Debug	An option to automatically send Edge infrastructure log files to Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud. By default, this option is set to false. Note We highly recommend to only send Edge infrastructure log files to Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud when you have issues with Edge. If you set it to true, it will automatically revert to false after 24h.	No
   Log level	An option to determine the verbosity level of Catalog connector log files. By default, this option is set to No logging.	No

4. Click Create.
   The capability is added to the Edge site.
   The fields become read-only.

What's next?

With the correct settings and permissions in place, users can start requesting sample data for the data source.
