Perform the following procedure each time you have installed a new
remote harvesting server connected to a cloud-based Talend Data Catalog server.
Both the cloud-based application server and the remote harvesting server installed on
premises use a shared secret.
In the
Over the Web
(Cloud) mode, the harvesting is invoked according to a schedule on the
remote harvesting server and the result is pushed up to the cloud.
Before you begin
-
You have
been assigned a global role with the Application Administration
capability.
- You have installed a remote harvesting server following one of
the previous deployment procedures.
- You have installed and configured a remote
harvesting server with the same version as the Talend Data Catalog application server.
- You have applied the same patches on the Talend Data Catalog application server and the remote
harvesting server.
Procedure
-
Go to .
-
In the Heartbeat Frequency field, select the frequency of
the heartbeat to check the status of the servers.
Talend Data Catalog sends a notification email when a server goes down
once the maximum number of missed heartbeats specified in the server properties is
reached.
By default, this feature is disabled and no notifications will be sent.

dedicated remote Talend Data Catalog
server to perform any metadata import/export
activities.

You need to define the duration between each heartbeat check in the
Heartbeat Frequency field.

| Compress Data |
Select the check box to use data compression for
the communication between the servers. |
| Set as Default |
