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:

•Assign the required permissions.
•Configure a connection to the MySQL source system in Administrator.
•Create endpoint catalog sources for connection assignment.
•To extract metadata from a MySQL source system, copy the MySQL JDBC driver, mysql-connector-java-8.0.27.jar, to the following location in your Secure Agent installation:

<Secure Agent installation directory>/apps/Data_Integration_Server/ext/drivers/<MySQL driver>

Metadata Command Center supports the MySQL JDBC driver version 8.0.27.

For information about installing the drivers, see the following How-to Library article: Configuring SSL for MySQL Connector in Cloud Data Integration
