Configure an External Assignment Connection

Add or edit an external service configuration connection in the Admin Console.

Steps

  1. Sign in to Collibra DQ and click the Cogwheel icon in the left navigation panel.

  2. Click Admin Console and then select Assignment Queues from the list.
  3. Click Plus icon to add a new external service configuration connection, or three dots icon to edit an existing connection.

  4. Complete the following fields in the Edit External Service Configuration window.
    FieldDescription
    Service Type

    Type of assignment queue service you are configuring.

    Default is ServiceNow.

    Service URLURL of the service you are configuring.
    Proxy Server URL

    URL of the proxy server.

    Note This is only applicable based on infrastructure configuration.

    Default Fields

    Semicolon separated key=value pairs on the Admin page, which override related field values on created assignment service records.

    Note There is a hierarchy whereby Additional Fields take precedence, if there is a matching competing key=value pair between both fields.

    Authentication ModeType of authentication.
    UsernameAuthentication credentials to the service.
    PasswordAuthentication credentials to the service.
    Publish Only

    Creates a ServiceNow incident as an unlinked, separate object from the validated Collibra DQ finding. Because Collibra DQ findings and ServiceNow incidents are decoupled when Publish Only is selected, you can edit, validate, and resolve findings in Collibra DQ and incidents in ServiceNow.

    Important If Publish only is not selected when a ServiceNow assignment is configured, you must close the ServiceNow incident before resolving the finding in Collibra DQ.

  5. Click Save.
  6. Note You can select Test Connection, to ensure that the configuration for your connection is valid. You will receive a message indicating if the connection test was successful.
    You can also click Close to close the window without saving.
