Catalog Administration Process

The administration tasks include configuring resources, assigning schedules, and custom attributes. You also need to monitor the tasks that extract metadata using the resources.
You can perform the following tasks as part of the administration process:
  1. 1. Create resources for each resource type based on the type of sources that you need to extract metadata from.
  2. 2. Choose whether you want to extract the source metadata, profiling metadata, or both.
  3. 3. Choose whether you want to run the resources one time or multiple times based on a common or custom schedule.
  4. 4. Optionally, assign a common schedule or custom schedule to the resources.
  5. 5. Monitor the tasks that extract metadata from different sources.
  6. 6. Define data domains based on predefined or user-defined Model Repository object based on the semantics of column data or a column name.
  7. 7. Troubleshoot tasks that do not perform as expected.
