Create an Edge site

As jobs are run on an Edge site, rather than on the Collibra platform, creating an Edge site allows you to have a processing runtime at your own premises.

Prerequisites

• You have a global role that has the System administration global permission.
• You have a global role that has the Manage Edge sites global permission.
• You have enabled database registration via Edge in Collibra Console.

  Note You must restart the Data Governance Center service when you have enabled this option.

Steps

1. On the main menu, click , and then click Settings.
   The Settings page opens.
2. Click Edge.
   The Edge sites overview appears.
3. Above the table, to the right, click Create Edge site.
   The Create Edge site wizard starts.
4. Enter the required information.
   

   Field	Description
   Name	The name of the Edge site. Use a meaningful name, for example NetherlandsDataCentre1. Do not use spaces or special characters. This field is mandatory and the name must be globally unique.
   Description	The description of the Edge site. We recommend to put at least basic location information of the Edge site. This field is mandatory.

5. Click Create.
   The Edge sites overview appears, including the new Edge site with the status To be installed.

What's next?

You can now install the Edge site, or if necessary, first configure a forward proxy.
