Before you enable IDMC metadata in Metadata Command Center, ensure that you configure runtime environments and enable IDMC metadata on the required tenant.
General prerequisites
Perform the following general prerequisite tasks:
•Verify that Data Integration, Application Integration, and Data Governance and Catalog are included in the same IDMC organization for catalog synchronization to succeed.
•Create a directory on the Data Integration service Secure Agent to store files from Data Integration tasks run. IDMC metadata extracts metadata from these files based on the filters you specify in the configuration.
•In Administrator, identify runtime environments that run the Data Integration server.
•The Data Integration mapping task jobs must run on the runtime environments that you selected.
Runtime environment prerequisites
Complete the following prerequisite tasks on each runtime environment on which the Data Integration server runs:
1Verify that the Metadata Platform Service is running on the runtime environment that you select.
2In Administrator, open a runtime environment.
3Click the ellipsis next to the runtime environment, and click Edit Secure Agent from the context menu that appears. The Secure Agent details page appears.
4In the System Configuration Details area, perform the following actions:
aFrom the Service list, select Data Integration Server.
bFrom the Type list, select AUTO_CATALOG.
See the following image for reference:
5Enter the following properties for the runtime environment that you selected:
Property
Description
AutoCatalogServiceMappingFileCopyEnabled
To enable IDMC metadata, enter: 'true'
AutoCatalogServiceMappingFileLocation
Directory that you created on the Secure Agent machine to store files from which you want to extract IDMC metadata.
Note: Don't enter the default directory where Data Integration XML files are stored. If you use the default directory, all Data Integration tasks fail.
Note: The term "Auto Catalog" refers to IDMC metadata.
6Click Save.
7Wait for the Data Integration service to return back to the Up and Running state, and then restart the Metadata Platform Service.
Note: You need to perform this step every time you update the IDMC metadata properties in the Data Integration Service.
Privileges to synchronize metadata
To allow users within a user role to synchronize metadata from Data Integration tasks and Application Integration objects with the catalog, configure the Manage IDMC Metadata Settings privilege for the user role.
Note: If you don't have the Manage IDMC Metadata Settings privilege, you can view the IDMC Metadata tab on the Monitor page but you can't retry the IDMC metadata jobs.
For more information about feature privileges, see Feature privileges in Introduction and Getting Started.
Privileges to view IDMC metadata assets
To view the IDMC metadata assets synchronized in the catalog, you need not configure any privileges for the users. The user privileges configured on the tenant where Metadata Command Center runs take effect.
For more information about feature privileges, see Feature privileges in Introduction and Getting Started.
