Steps overview: Integrate a Google Cloud Storage file system via Edge

You can register and synchronize a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) file system via Edge in Collibra.

If you are using schemas with table files that you want to integrate as File Group assets with tables and columns instead of File assets, you can use Google Dataplex. The Dataplex zone in which the GCS buckets are registered must be in the same project as the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) service account.

For information on how to add a GCS asset to a Dataplex zone that can then be discovered by the GCS integration, go to the Google Dataplex documentation.

#	Step	Description
1	Create a GCP connection to your Edge or Collibra Cloud site.	Create a connection to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in an Edge or Collibra Cloud site.
2	Add a GCS synchronization capability to your Edge or Collibra Cloud site.	Add the GCS synchronization capability to the GCP Edge connection. The capability allows you to retrieve data from the GCS file system.
3	Register a GCS file system.	Create the initial structure of a Storage Catalog domain and GCS File System asset in the selected parent community.
4	Connect the GCS file system asset to the Edge capability.	Link the registered GCS file system to the Edge capability.
5	Create crawlers.	Create crawlers to define the folders that you want to synchronize.
6	Synchronize GCS.	You can manually synchronize GCS or add a synchronization schedule to automatically synchronize it.
