You can use Metadata Command Center to extract metadata from a source system.
A source system is any system that contains data or metadata. For example, Apache Cassandra is a source system from which you can extract metadata through a JDBC catalog source. A catalog source is an object that represents and contains metadata from the source system.
Before you extract metadata from a source system, you first create and register a catalog source that represents the source system. Then you configure capabilities for the catalog source. A capability is a task that Metadata Command Center can perform, such as metadata extraction, lineage discovery, data profiling, data classification, or glossary association.
When Metadata Command Center extracts metadata, Data Governance and Catalog displays the extracted metadata and its attributes as technical assets. You can then perform tasks such as analyzing the assets, viewing relationships, and creating links between those assets and their business context.
JDBC is a Java API to connect and interact with databases. You can use a JDBC catalog source to connect to specific source systems for which a JDBC driver is available.
You can connect to the following source systems with a JDBC catalog source:
•Amazon Aurora MySQL
•Amazon DynamoDB
•Apache Cassandra
•IBM Db2
•Marketo
•Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB
•Microsoft Dynamics CRM
•MongoDB
•NetSuite
•SingleStore
•Sybase ASE (Adaptive Server Enterprise)
•Sybase IQ (Intelligent Query)
Not all capabilities are available on all sources. See About the JDBC catalog source for information about capabilities available on each source system.
