## Requirements
{% note %}

The Wherescape connector is available only in OpenMetadata version 1.6.8 or later.

{% /note %}

To extract Wherescape metadata, we need the batabase connection details where the metadata is stored.

- `API` Permission ( While Creating the User, from Admin -> User )
- To retrieve lineage data, the user must be granted [Component-level permissions](https://docs.matillion.com/metl/docs/2932106/#component).
- To enable lineage tracking in Matillion, **Matillion Enterprise Mode** is required. For detailed setup instructions and further information, refer to the official documentation: [Matillion Lineage Documentation](https://docs.matillion.com/metl/docs/2881895/).

  - Provide the SQL Server connection credentials including username and password
  - Specify the database name where Wherescape metadata is stored
  - Enter the host and port for the SQL Server instance
  - The connector will establish a connection to this database to extract Wherescape pipeline metadata
