Add the Catalog JDBC ingestion capability

Before you can start registering a data source via Edge, you need to add the Catalog JDBC ingestion capability to the JDBC connection for the data source.

Before you begin

• You have created and installed an Edge site.
• You have created a JDBC connection.

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 ingestion	Yes
   Connection	This section contains information to connect to the data source.
   JDBC connection	The connection to the data source.	Yes
   JDBC data source type (Deprecated)	Deprecated field. The field was used to indicate the type of the data source. You no longer need to change this field. The required value is automatically identified. Note The automatically identified value is not shown in this page.	Yes
   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 ingest-schema-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 ingest-schema-requests-cpu The minimum amount of CPU computing power requested by the capability. The amount is expressed in milliCPU. Text Not encrypted (plain text) 100 ingest-schema-limits-cpu The maximum amount of CPU computing power requested by the capability. The amount is expressed in milliCPU. Text Not encrypted (plain text) 950 ingest-schema-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: ingest-schema-limits-memory and ingest-schema-jvm-max-memory. 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
   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?

If needed, add the JDBC Profiling capability as well to the connection.
You can then register a data source via Edge.
