Migrate a schema to Edge

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we've 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:

If you have an Edge site available and a Database asset has been created for your data source via Edge, you can migrate the schemas you want from Jobserver to Edge one by one.

Before you begin

Steps

Important This video is recorded in the classic user interface.

  1. Open the existing Schema asset that was created via Jobserver.


    By default, the Schema asset remains in the existing location.

  2. Go to Actions → Migrate schema to Edge.
    Depending on the workflow configuration, a first migration task opens.
    Tip 

    The domain of the asset and the asset name are only updated, if needed, after a first synchronization of the schema via Edge.

    1. Enter the name of the Database asset created via Edge to which you want to migrate the existing schema.
    2. Validate or enter the name of the schema in the Edge Database asset.
      This is especially needed if the name of the existing Schema asset is not the same as the name of the schema in the data source.
      If Collibra can find the schema name via the Schema property in the Jobserver configuration, the name is automatically suggested. Otherwise, you can check the name in the list of schemas in the Configuration tab pane of the Database asset.


    3. Click Migrate Schema.
    As a result:
    • If not yet available, Collibra creates a "Belongs to Technical asset" relationship between the existing Schema asset and the selected Database asset.
    • Collibra creates mappings between existing Jobserver assets and the schemas found in the data source via the Edge connection.
    • The migration does not change the full names of existing assets yet. The full name is only updated after a first synchronization via Edge.
    • Depending on the workflow configuration, a new task opens asking you to synchronize the migrated schema for the first time via Edge.

What's next?

Synchronize the schema for the first time via Edge and remove the Jobserver configuration.
