Create an Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services connection to Edge or Collibra Cloud site

For CollibraData Lineage to connect to and retrieve metadata from Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, create an Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS) connection.

Before you begin

• To create and use Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services (IICS) connection, use Collibra Platform 2023.03 or later.
• Create an Edge site on K3S.
You have added a vault to your Edge site.
Note  Vaults are not supported on Collibra Cloud sites.
If your data source connection requires a file from your vault, the file must be encoded into Base64 and stored as a regular secret in your vault.
