Before you begin

Before you create a catalog source, ensure that you have the information required to connect to the source system.
Perform the following tasks:

Verify permissions

To extract metadata and to configure other capabilities that a catalog source might include, you need account access and permissions on the source system. The permissions required might vary depending on the capability.

Permissions for metadata extraction

To extract MicroStrategy metadata, you need account access and permissions to the MicroStrategy source system.
Verify that the Metadata Command Center administrator performs the following tasks:

Permissions to perform data classification

You can perform data classification with the permissions required to perform metadata extraction.

Permissions to perform glossary association

You can perform glossary association with the permissions required to perform metadata extraction.

Get MicroStrategy source information

Before you configure the catalog source, ask the MicroStrategy administrator for values of connection properties that you need to configure the catalog source.
Note: You don't need to create a connection object for MicroStrategy. You provide this information when you configure the catalog source.
The following table describes the properties that you need:
Property
Description
Version
The version of the MicroStrategy software that you have installed. If you don't know the version, select the autodetect option.
Project Source
The name of the MicroStrategy project source to connect to.
Project sources represent a connection to a metadata database or a MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.
Login user
The user name of the user that connects to the project source.
Login password
The password to connect to the project source.

Create endpoint catalog sources for connection assignment

An endpoint catalog source represents a source system that the catalog source references. Before you perform connection assignment, create endpoint catalog sources and run the catalog source jobs.
You can then perform connection assignment to reference source systems to view complete lineage with source system objects.
