Enable profiling and classification via Edge

To enable Edge profiling and classification of synchronized metadata in Data Catalog, you need to run a command and enable multiple settings.

 

Before you begin

You have enabled Database registration via Edge.

Required permissions

You have a global role that has the System administration global permission.
The Services Configuration tab is available in the Collibra settings.

Steps

1. Run the command to enable classification on your Edge site.
2. Open the Services Configuration page.

   1. On the main menu, click , and then click Settings.
      The Settings page opens.
   2. In the tab pane, click Services Configuration.
   3. Click Edit configuration.

   Setting	Description
   Database profiling via Edge	An option to enable profiling and classifying of 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 enable Database profiling via Edge only 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.

   Note 

   • You don't need to enable setting Anonymize data because this setting is not relevant for Edge. Edge only sends the profiling results and classification suggestions to Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud. The profiling results are automatically anonymized for columns of data type Text and Geo before they are sent to Data Catalog.
   • You don't need to enable setting Enable Data Classification in the Data Classification configuration section. This setting relates only to the Data Classification Platform.
     If this setting is set to true, the Classify button is available on Column and Table asset pages. This button allows you to classify data via the Data Classification Platform. However, when using profiling and classification via Edge, you don't need the Data Classification Platform.
4. Click Save all.
