Synchronize outbound metadata to Databricks Unity Catalog

Configure a tag mapping to send a Collibra attribute value to a Databricks Unity Catalog tag.

To add an outbound tag mapping:

1. In the Collibra attribute to Databricks tag mappings section, click Add tag mapping to add a new tag mapping.
2.  In the Asset field, select the supported asset type to which you want to apply the tag mapping. If you do not specify an asset type, the tag mapping will apply to all applicable asset types by default.
3. In the Attribute field, select the attribute whose value you want to send to Databricks Unity Catalog. Attributes with multiple values are also supported. Their selected values are combined into a single Databricks tag value joined with a semicolon (;). For example, Finance;HR;Legal.
4. In the Tag key field, specify the value to be mapped in Databricks Unity Catalog for the selected attribute.

For example, you map a Security Classification attribute to a security_classification tag in Databricks Unity Catalog. If you change the value from Sensitive to Confidential in Collibra, the next outbound synchronization updates the value of the tag in Databricks Unity Catalog.

Note Attributes with a maximum cardinality greater than 1 are not supported for outbound tag mapping. Each value is stored as a separate attribute instance and propagated as a separate update, so only the most recently changed value is sent.

Configure a property mapping to send a Collibra property value to a native Databricks object property. Only Description mapping to the Databricks description property is currently supported.

To add an outbound property mapping:

1. In the Collibra property to Databricks property mappings section, click Add Collibra property to Databricks property mapping to add a new property mapping.
2. In the Asset field, select the supported asset type to which you want to apply the mapping. If you do not specify an asset type, the mapping applies to all applicable asset types by default.
3. In the Collibra property field, select the attribute whose value you want to send to Databricks Unity Catalog. Currently, only Description is available.
4. In the Databricks property field, select the native Databricks object property to receive the value. Currently, only description is available.

For example, your team maintains certified descriptions for finance tables in Collibra. You map the Description attribute on Databricks Unity Catalog Table assets to the corresponding Databricks Unity Catalog description property. When you update a Databricks table's description in Collibra, the next outbound synchronization updates the description value on the table in Databricks Unity Catalog.

Configure a status mapping to send an asset's current status name to a Databricks tag. On each status change, the new status name is written. When you remove the status, the integration removes the tag.

1. In the Collibra asset status to Databricks tag mappings section, click Add status mapping.
2. In Asset, select the asset type the mapping applies to. If you do not specify an asset type, the mapping applies to all applicable asset types by default.
3. In the Tag key field, specify the value to be mapped in Databricks Unity Catalog for the selected attribute.

Configure an articulation score mapping to send an asset's articulation score, a decimal from 0.0 to 100.0 (for example, 87.5), to a Databricks tag. The integration removes the tag when the score is removed.

1. In the Collibra asset articulation score to Databricks tag mappings section, click Add articulation score mapping.
2. In Asset, select the asset type the mapping applies to. If you do not specify an asset type, the mapping applies to all applicable asset types by default.
3. In the Tag key field, specify the value to be mapped in Databricks Unity Catalog for the selected attribute.

Configure an average rating mapping to send an asset's average rating to a Databricks tag. The average rating can be one of the following values: 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, or 1. If you remove the average rating in Collibra, the integration writes 0 to the tag. It does not remove the tag because 0 is a valid average rating.

1. In the Collibra asset average rating to Databricks tag mappings section, click Add average rating mapping.
2. In Asset, select the asset type the mapping applies to. If you do not specify an asset type, the mapping applies to all applicable asset types by default.
3. In the Tag key field, specify the value to be mapped in Databricks Unity Catalog for the selected attribute.

Configure a tag mapping to send all Collibra tags on an asset to a Databricks tag as a single value, joined with semicolons (for example, PII;Sensitive). The value is replaced on each update. The integration removes the Databricks tag when the asset does not have any Collibra tags left.

1. In the Collibra tag to Databricks tag mappings section, click Add tag mapping.
2. In Asset, select the asset type the mapping applies to. If you do not specify an asset type, the mapping applies to all applicable asset types by default.
3. In the Tag key field, specify the value to be mapped in Databricks Unity Catalog for the selected attribute.

Configure a responsibility mapping to send the owner of a responsibility to a Databricks tag as owner name:role name (for example, Jane Doe:Data Steward). The integration removes the tag when the responsibility is removed. If more than one owner holds the same role on the same asset, the tag shows the owner synced most recently, not a merged list.

1. In the Collibra responsibility to Databricks tag mappings section, click Add responsibility mapping.
2. In Asset, select the asset type the mapping applies to. If you do not specify an asset type, the mapping applies to all applicable asset types by default.
3. In Role, select the resource role.
4. In the Tag key field, specify the value to be mapped in Databricks Unity Catalog for the selected attribute.
