Add or edit a synchronization schedule

To keep the content of Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud synchronized with the schemas in the registered data source, you can synchronize manually or add a schedule to automatically do this at fixed intervals.

Note You can only add one synchronization schedule for all schemas of a datasource. All schemas with synchronization rules will be synchronized at the specified intervals.

Before you begin

• You have registered your database.
• You have configured the synchronization of your data source.
• Make sure the Database asset has an assigned Owner.
  To validate this, go to the Database asset →Responsibilities tab. The owner is assigned during the registration of the data source. The Owner doesn't need to be the same user as the user who triggers the synchronization.

Required permissions

• You have a global role with the Catalog global permission, for example, Catalog Author.
• You have a global role with the View Edge connections and capabilities global permission, for example, Edge integration engineer.
• You have a resource role with the Configure external system resource permission, for example, Owner.

Steps

1. Open a Database asset page.
2. In the tab pane, click Configuration.
3. In the Synchronization Schedule section of the Metadata Synchronization tab page, click Add Schedule to add a new schedule, or to edit an existing schedule.
4. Enter the required information.

   Field	Description
   Repeat	The interval when you want to synchronize automatically. The possible values are: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Cron expression.
   Cron	The Quartz Cron expression that determines when the synchronization takes place. This field is only visible if you select Cron expression in the Repeat field.
   Every	The day on which you want to synchronize, for example, Sunday. This field is only visible if you select Weekly in the Repeat field.
   Every first	The day of the month on which you want to synchronize, for example, Tuesday. This field is only visible if you select Monthly in the Repeat field.
   At	The time at which you want to synchronize automatically, for example, 14:00. You can only schedule on the hour. For example, you can add a synchronization schedule at 8:00, but not at 8:45. If you try to add it at 8:45, we will default it to 8:00. Use a cron expression if you don't want to schedule on the hour. This field is only visible if you select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly in the Repeat field.
   Time zone	The time zone for the schedule.

5. Click Save.
   All schemas with synchronization rules are synchronized according to the synchronization schedule.
