Collibra Platform Self-Hosted getting started

Thank you so much for your continued support of our vision to do more with trusted data. This section of the documentation helps explain updates we've made to our self-hosted solution so you can quickly orient yourself. This is not intended to be a comprehensive guide, but should serve as a good starting point for experiencing everything that Collibra Platform Self-Hosted has to offer.

Documentation toggle

Please note that the release notes contain a Self-Hosted toggle. If you turn this toggle on, it will filter out release notes that do not apply to the CPSH solution. We have done our best to ensure we've captured the right information for you but please note that there are some things that may still have varying impacts for each platform. If you find a documentation issue that we didn't catch, don't hesitate to contact us to fix it!

How to upgrade from 5.9.1 (or later) to CPSH 2024.05?

Upgrading to the latest version of Collibra Platform Self-Hosted is intended to be seamless. Follow our documentation to see how little has changed in the upgrade process!

Note If you are using Collibra Data Quality & Observability on-premises, we recommend you upgrade to at least the 2023.09 release. There are several key fixes in that version which make your upgrade much more seamless.

New features in 2024.05

It wouldn't be a new release if it didn't have new features! As part of our effort to deliver more for our CPSH customers, we've added new features for you. Expect to see more from us very shortly as we continue to improve this product.

• Data Marketplace

  • Your new CPSH deployment also includes Data Marketplace, the best place to find, request and check out data for use! Read all about it in the product documentation.

    Note Make sure to disable Data Discovery in the Data Marketplace settings so you see the right cards on the Data Marketplace landing page.

• Homepage

  • This version of Collibra includes Homepage, a new feature, designed to present for your users the most relevant information immediately! Read up on the new features here! Please note that some features of Homepage will not be available.

• Edge

  • If you are not working in air-gapped environment, you can now use Edge to safely connect to data sources hosted on-premises or in the cloud. Data source information is processed on the Edge site and the process results are sent to CPSH. Learn more about Edge here.

  • The Edge capabilities enabled for CPSH include:
    • Catalog JDBC ingestion
    • JDBC Profiling
    • Catalog Data Classification
    • Catalog JDBC Sampling
    • Synchronization (ADLS, GCS, S3, Unity Catalog)
    • DQ Connector

Major changes from 5.9.x to 2024.05

CPSH 2024.05 brings many code updates, resulting in enhanced security, new features, and improved stability. See a list of the biggest changes here:

• Monitoring service: We've replaced the Monitoring service with a more robust, more standard monitoring mechanism. The Monitoring service was constrained and highly prescriptive. With our new logging and monitoring setup, you can ingest data into your own alerting and visualization systems as you please. For more information about diagnostic files, go to the Platform Configuration section.

• API v1 Endpoints: We’re in the process of upgrading our API services to v2. As a result, some of the supported APIs have changed with CPSH. Please read through the documentation to check for any impacts.

• Asset Import UI: The Asset Import UI has changed. It uses version 2 of the Import API for better performance, with a refreshed interface and more intuitive mapping.

• Workflow APIs: Some Workflow APIs may be deprecated as a result of the move to Workflow Designer. We have a tool available to help you test if your workflows are impacted but if you find something not presently documented, please don’t hesitate to contact theCollibra Support.

• Homepage: CPSH customers do not have access to the Most Viewed Assets and Recommended Assets sections of the product as both cloud features rely on a piece of software we are unable to ship externally. We’ll review possible ways to make this available in the future for CPSH customers!

• User Licenses: Our model changed from the previous self-hosted release so that Standard Users now come in two types: Effective and Required. More information is available in our documentation.
