Create an SAP Signavio connection to an Edge or Collibra Cloud site

To integrate SAP Signavio assets, you first need to prepare Edge.

Ensure that you have completed all the prerequisites in your SAP Signavio and Collibra environments. Once you have created a connection, you can then proceed with metadata ingestion.

Do you use a vault?

You can use a vault to add your data source information to your Edge site connection.

Check the connection property table below to see which information is available for your vault.

Vaults are not available for Collibra Cloud sites.
No vault
AWS Secrets Manager
Azure Key Vault
CyberArk Vault
Google Secret Manager
HashiCorp Vault
  
To use your vault, do the following:
  1. In the Value Type field, select Vault Key.
  2. Enter the query value to identify the secret in your vault.
    Example 
    Note The Query must be a string containing the properties required to identify the secret. Each property must be separated by a semicolon (;). For example: Safe=<SafeName>;Folder=<FolderName>;Object=<ObjectName>

    If a property is a folder with sub-folders, use a backslash (\) to define the folder path. For example: Folder=Root\Top Secrets\More Secrets

    For more information about query formats and supported properties, go to the CyberArk Credential Provider documentation.

To use your vault, do the following:
  1. In the Value Type field, select Vault Key.
  2. Enter the required information:
    Secret Engine Type
    Select one of the following:
    • Key Value
    • Database
    Engine Path
    The engine path to your vault where the value is stored.
    Secret Path
    The secret path to your vault where the value is stored.
    Field

  2. Enter the required information:
    Secret Name
    The name of the secret in your vault where the value is stored.
    Field
    If the secret stored in your AWS Secrets Manager is a JSON value, for example {"pass1": "my-password", "pass2": "my-password2"}, then you need to specify the Field to point to the exact JSON value that should be used. For example, Secret Name: edge-db-customer; Field: pass.
    Note If the secret stored in your AWS Secrets Manager is a plain string value, for example my-password, then you do not need to specify the Field.
    Example 

To use your vault, do the following:
  1. In the Value Type field, select Vault Key.
  2. Enter the name of the secret in your vault where the value is stored.

Prerequisites

In your Collibra environment

  • To use the SAP Signavio integration, you need Edge 2026.03.84 or newer.
  • You either created and installed an Edge site or were granted a Collibra Cloud site.
  • You have added a vault to your Edge site.
    Note  Vaults are not supported on Collibra Cloud sites.
  • If your data source connection requires a file from your vault, the file must be encoded into Base64 and stored as a regular secret in your vault.
