Edit import configuration

In Collibra Data Intelligence Platform, you can import data from comma-separated value (CSV, Excel) files.

Depending on your environment, follow this procedure either on the Services Configuration tab of the Collibra settings or in Collibra Console:

Important You can't edit the Services Configuration from the Settings page in the latest UI. If you use the latest UI, you can configure settings only in Collibra Console. For more information, go to DGC service configuration settings.

    SettingDescription

    • True: Enable importing responsibilities at asset level.
    • False (default): Disable importing responsibilities at asset level.

    Warning Setting specific responsibilities on a large number of resources will affect the performance and stability of the system.

    Number of failed commands before stopping import job

    An import job with the option to continue on error enabled will stop after the specified number of commands have failed. Any valid command is still committed to the database until the moment the job stops, which can lead to some resources being imported.

    The default and maximum value is 100.

    Temporary data location

    The location of the temporary files used by the import job.

    The default value is FILE.

    This setting requires the SUPER role.

    • True (default): Use the new import interface for importing assets and complex relations, with improved usability and performance.
