In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra Data Intelligence Platform! You can learn more about this latest UI in the UI overview.
Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:
Synchronizing SAP Datasphere is the process of integrating metadata from the databases connected to SAP Datasphere and making this metadata available in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform.
You can synchronize manually, or you can automate it by adding a synchronization schedule.
Before you begin
- You have created a connection to SAP Datasphere Catalog in your Edge site.
- You have added the SAP Datasphere synchronization capability for the connection.
- For metadata synchronization, you know in which System asset you want to add the SAP Datasphere assets.
Requirements and permissions
- The Edge user must have the following resource permissions:
- Asset > Add
- Asset > Update
- Attributes > Add
- Attributes > Update
- Domain > Add
- You have a resource role with the Configure external system resource permission, for example, Owner.
- 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.

What's next?
The synchronization job integrates the metadata.
After the synchronization:
- You can view a summary of the results from the Activities list.
- For metadata synchronization, the resulting assets get a relation to the System asset that you selected.
- For information on the integrated data, go to Integrated SAP Datasphere data.
