Before you create a catalog source, ensure that you have the information required to connect to the source system.
Perform the following tasks:
•Get Qlik Sense Cloud source information.
•Verify permissions. Verify that the Qlik Sense user has permissions to read all application objects and data connections on the source system.
•Generate API keys using the Qlik Sense Management Console.
Note: You can choose the API key validity. Regenerate the keys after the validity expires.
•Create endpoint catalog sources for connection assignment.
Get Qlik Sense Cloud source information
Get the values of the connection properties that you need to configure from the Qlik Sense Cloud administrator.
Note: You don't need to create a connection object for Qlik Sense Cloud. You provide this information when you configure the catalog source.
The following table describes the properties that you need:
Property
Description
Qlik Sense Cloud URL
The URL to connect to Qlik Sense Cloud.
Token
The API key to authenticate to the Qlik Sense Cloud source system.
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 Qlik Sense Cloud metadata, you need account access and permissions to the Qlik Sense Cloud catalog source and the Qlik Sense Cloud source system.
Create endpoint catalog sources for connection assignment
You can perform connection assignment to reference source systems to view source system objects.
Before you perform connection assignment, create catalog sources and run the catalog source jobs for source systems that Qlik Sense Cloud references.
