Before you begin
Procedure
- In the software home directory, execute the Setup.bat or Setup.sh file.
-
Go to the Application
Server tab.
- Select the Metadata Harvesting Server Only check box.
-
Configure the following fields and click Configure.
Field Description Metadata Harvesting Browse Path Type in the local and mapped network drives that will be available in the Talend Cloud Data Catalog user interface during the metadata harvesting. You should limit the access to a common shared data location and avoid the system area.
The server must have access to the metadata harvesting files and directories anytime another event is to occur such as a scheduled harvest. When harvesting a model, the user interface presents a set of paths that can be browsed to select these files and directories.For Windows based application servers, when running as a service, you must use either local physical drives or the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths such as \\RemoteHost\C\Data\Lake.
The mapped drive names and paths cannot be the same as what a user sees when logged in. It is not sufficient to enter the mapped drive ID such as N:\, as that drive mapping is generally not available to services. It also applies to script backup and restore drives.
Data Directory Optionally, enter a new location to relocate the data files such as the log files and the metadata incremental harvesting cache, if needed for very large Data Integration or Business Intelligence tools. By default, the data directory is located in the data subdirectory of the application server home directory. It is recommended to separate the program data from the program files. It allows you to provide a new location for the data in a separate area.
- If the remote harvesting server is connected to a Talend Data Catalog server installed on the cloud, open the <TDC_HOME>\TalendDataCatalog\conf\agent.properties configuration file to perform additional customizations.
-
Configure the following parameters:
Parameter name Description M_SERVER_URL Enter the URL of the Talend Data Catalog server installed on the cloud. M_AGENT_SHARED_SECRET Type in a shared secret set to anything as long it is unique, reasonably descriptive so it can usefully be identified in the UI, hard to guess since it also works as a shared secret string. You will use this shared secret when adding the remote harvesting server in the Talend Data Catalog UI.
