Custom Metadata Integration Workflow

1. 1. Verify if you can reuse an existing model. For example, for a relational data source, you can use any of the relational models included in Enterprise Data Catalog.
2. 2. Creating custom models that involve the following steps:
• - Define the model for the source metadata in an XML file.
• - Use the custom_model.xsd model definition file to create and validate the model XML file that you created.
• - Specify the classes, attributes, and associations that you want to ingest in the catalog.
• - Configure the search, sort, and filter options for the ingested custom metadata objects.
Note: Search, sort, and filtering options are resource-intensive operations. Verify that you configure the options that you require.
3. 3. Register the custom model with the Catalog Administrator.
4. 4. Create a custom resource type.
5. 5. Select the models that you want to assign to the custom metadata template.
6. 6. Use the CSV files in the custom resource type template to fill metadata and association details of the data source. You can also fill the transformation mapping details if you plan to view the transformation details between multiple data sources in the lineage diagram.
7. 7. Create a custom resource and upload a ZIP file that includes the CSV files with data when you configure the resource.
8. 8. Run the resource.
