Editing a data connection in InfoSphere Metadata Asset Manager
You can select an existing data connection when you import metadata by using a connector or by using the HDFS bridge. You might need to edit the connection if the credentials to connect to the data source have changed or you want to change any of the parameters.
Before you begin
You must have the role of Common Metadata Importer or Common Metadata Administrator. If you do not have the Common Metadata Administrator role, you must be the creator of the data connection.
About this task
In InfoSphere® Metadata Asset Manager,
creating and editing data connections is tied to the import process
and to the import area. You create or edit data connections while
in the import wizard. Your ability to edit the data connection in
a particular import area depends on whether you have shared an import
from that area to the metadata repository.
- When no import has been shared to the metadata repository from the import area that you are working in, you can select an existing data connection or create a new data connection. You can edit any of the properties of the data connection, even after running imports, as long as you do not share an import to the metadata repository.
- After an import has been shared to the metadata repository from the import area that you are working in, you can change only the password of the data connection while working in that import area. However, you can select and edit the data connection if you create a new import area.
