Link related System assets to connections

This section shows you how to add related System assets from the Connections page. This ensures that the results of Data Quality Job runs on your connection are captured on a linked System asset page in Data Catalog.

There are two options for linking a connection to a System asset:

  • Use Edge connection name: This option allows Collibra to use the name of the Edge connection to link to a related System asset of the same name in Data Catalog.
  • Specify a system in Catalog: This option allows you to select an existing System asset in Data Catalog. Use this option when the Edge connection name does not match a related System asset in Data Catalog or when you need separate Edge connections for data quality and ingestion.
