Add a Jobserver to the DGC service

To register a data source and create a data profile in Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, you need the Jobserver service.

If you don't have a Jobserver installed and configured in your environment, the Register data source action will be grayed out in the global create menu of Collibra Data Intelligence Platform.

Tip Execute this procedure on Collibra Console of your cloud environment. In this configuration, the DGC service sends jobs to the on-premises Jobserver, however we highly recommend to revert this communication path so that the Jobserver polls the DGC service for jobs.

Steps

  1. Open the DGC service settings for editing:
  2. In the Jobserver section, click Add.
  3. Enter the necessary information:
    SettingDescription

    Jobserver list

    The list of registered Jobserver instances.

    Name

    The name of the Jobserver as it will appear when you register a data source in Data Catalog.

    The name is a freely chosen name but it is recommended to only use alphanumerical characters and dashes, for example Jobserver-1.

    You will have to use this name as the ID of the gateway and in the address of this configuration.

    The protocol that is used for the communication between the Data Governance Center service and the Jobserver service.

    It is recommended to use HTTPS, especially if the services are hosted in different network segments.

    Address

    The address (IP address, URL, hostname) of the Jobserver.

    Trusted server CA certificate

    The certificate of the trusted CA needed to validate the server certificate. If blank, the default truststore will be used. The default truststore is defined in the SSL configuration section of the DGC service.

    The CA certificate of the server party (Jobserver).

    Table profiling data size

    The approximate maximum disk size of the data in MB that will be used to profile a table. The value cannot exceed 10,000.

    This timeout is a time limit (in seconds) after which the connection test is stopped and a timeout error is shown. The default value is 60 seconds.
