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 Editing the Services Configuration from the Settings page isn't available in the latest UI (beta). If you use the latest UI, you can configure these settings only in Collibra Console. For more information, go to DGC service configuration settings.

    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.

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

    The default value is FILE.
