Connect to a Data Quality & Observability Classic source

Important This feature isn't available in the latest UI.

Because the DQ Connector is an Edge capability, you must be able to ingest data via Edge. For information about enabling and configuring Edge, see the Edge Configuration guide.

Create a Data Quality & Observability Classic Edge site

Create an Edge site with the following properties:

Field	Description
Name	The name of the Edge site, for example Collibra-DQ-Edge. Do not use spaces or special characters. This field is mandatory and the name must be globally unique.
Description	The description of the Edge site. Enter at least basic location information of the Edge site.

Field

Description

Name

The name of the Edge site, for example Collibra-DQ-Edge. Do not use spaces or special characters.

This field is mandatory and the name must be globally unique.

Description

The description of the Edge site. Enter at least basic location information of the Edge site.

Install the Data Quality & Observability Classic Edge site

Follow the instructions for your environment to Install an Edge site.

Note This process automatically creates an Edge user, which you use later in the setup process.

Connect to your Data Quality & Observability Classic source

Create a connection for each CollibraData Quality & Observability Classic data source you want to synchronize.

Section	Property	Value
Connection settings	Name	The same name as the Collibra Data Quality & Observability Classic connection name.
	Description	The description of the JDBC connection. This field is also visible when you register content.
	Connection provider	The connection provider, which determines the available connection parameters. Same as Collibra Data Quality & Observability Classic.
Connection parameters Example for Username / Password JDBC drive	Username	The same username as the Collibra Data Quality & Observability Classic connection username.
	Password	The same password as the Collibra Data Quality & Observability Classic connection password.
	Driver class name	The same driver name as the Collibra Data Quality & Observability Classic connection driver name.
	Driver Jar	The same driver JAR file as from Collibra Data Quality & Observability Classic.
	Connection string	The same URL as the Collibra Data Quality & Observability Classic connection URL.

Add ingestion capabilities to your Data Quality & Observability Classic connection

You must add a Catalog JDBC ingestion Edge capability template for each connection you have created to extract and process data for your data source.

Field	Description	Required
Name	The name of the capability.	Yes
Description	The description of the capability.	No
JDBC connection	The connection to the data source.	Yes
JDBC data source type (Deprecated)	Deprecated field. The field was used to indicate the type of the data source. You no longer need to change this field. The required value is automatically identified. The value isn't shown in this page.	Yes
Supports schemas	A text field where you have to enter True to enable database registration of data sources without schemas. If the data source doesn't have a schema, Data Catalog creates a Schema asset with the same name as the full name of the database. If the data source has schemas, you can ignore this field.	No
Other Settings	This section can contain additional capability properties. Click Add Other Settings to add a property. For an overview of all available properties, go to Other Settings. Note No validation is performed on the values you add.	No
Debug	An option to automatically send Edge infrastructure log files to Collibra Platform. By default, this option is set to false. Note We highly recommend to only send Edge infrastructure log files to Collibra Platform when you have issues with Edge. If you set it to true, it will automatically revert to false after 24h. For more information, go to Edge logging.	No
Log level	An option to determine the verbosity level of Catalog connector log files. By default, this option is set to No logging.	No

Configure destinations for Data Quality & Observability Classic assets

Data Quality & Observability Classic rules, metrics and dimensions require their own domains in Data Catalog. If you don't have existing domains for data quality or wish to use new ones for the quality extraction purpose, create a domain for each type of data quality asset:

Rules: Rulebook Domain
Metrics: Business Asset Domain
Dimensions: Business Asset Domain

Assign permissions for Data Quality & Observability Classic domains

Edge must have the correct resource permissions to manage assets inside the dedicated Data Quality & Observability Classic domains. For each dedicated domain, assign the Technical Steward role to the Edge user.

Note The Edge user is automatically created when you install the Edge site.

Add Data Quality & Observability Classic characteristics to assets

To show Data Quality & Observability Classic statistics for your data source, assign the following characteristic types to the Table and Column asset types:

Asset type	Characteristic type
Table	governed by Governance Asset
Column	is governed by Data Quality Rule

Add a DQ Connector capability

The DQ Connector facilitates the communication with Collibra Data Quality & Observability Classic. Add a DQ Connector capability to your Data Quality & Observability Classic Edge site:
