1In the Connection and Runtime area, choose a serverless runtime environment or the Secure Agent group where you want to run catalog source jobs.
Note:
Serverless runtime environment options are available if the catalog source works with a serverless runtime environment.
2Choose to retain, delete, or deprecate objects that are deleted from the source system in the catalog with the Metadata Change Option.
- - Retain. Retains objects that are deleted from the source system in the catalog. If you update or add a filter, the catalog retains objects extracted from the previous job and extracts additional objects that match the current filter. Objects deleted from the source system are not deleted from the catalog. Enrichments added on deleted objects and relationships are retained.
- - Delete. Deletes metadata from the catalog based on objects deleted from the source system and changes you make to the filter. Enrichments added on deleted objects and relationships are also permanently lost. Objects renamed in the source system are removed and recreated in the catalog.
- - Deprecate. The lifecycle of objects imported into the catalog moves to Obsolete based on objects deleted from the source system and changes you make to the filter. This does not impact enrichments added on deprecated objects and relationships. Objects renamed in the source system are removed and recreated in the catalog. When you run the catalog source job again for other capabilities such as data classification, relationship discovery, or glossary association, the job doesn't consider obsolete objects. Obsolete objects remain in the catalog until they are purged when you run a Purge Obsolete Objects job on the Explore page.
Note:
You can also change the configured metadata change option when you run a catalog source.
3In the Filters area, define one or more filter conditions to apply to metadata extraction.
- aFrom the Include or Exclude list, choose to include or exclude metadata based on the filter parameters.
- bFrom the Object type list, select Program path.
- cEnter the program path as the filter value.
- ▪ For folder path hierarchies, use a forward slash as a separator.
- ▪ If the object name contains an asterisk, enclose it in double quotes.
- ▪ Enclose filter values in double quotes if you include spaces before or after a string value.
- dOptionally, to include or exclude multiple objects, click the Add icon to add filters with the OR condition.
Filter values can contain wildcard characters. Use the following rules when you enter filter values with wildcards:
