Assigning Connections Overview

When you run a scan on resources for some of the resource types, you need to ensure that the source connection maps accurately to the schemas from the resource. Enterprise Data Catalog can automatically detect how the database schemas are assigned to the resources after you run a scan on the resources. You can assign and unassign schemas from resource to connections based on your requirements. The connection management tasks that you perform in Catalog Administrator apply only to SAP Business Objects, Informatica Platform, PowerCenter, IBM Cognos, Informatica Cloud Services, and Cloudera Navigator resource types.
If the data asset lineage information does not look accurate in Enterprise Data Catalog, you can troubleshoot the assigned and unassigned connections and make the required corrections in Catalog Administrator. You can then verify that the lineage flow is accurate in Enterprise Data Catalog. When you create resources in Catalog Administrator, you can choose to automatically assign database schemas to resources. You can also manually assign the schemas to specific connections.
