In this section, we provide guides and references to use the Matillion connector.

Configure and schedule Matillion metadata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

• Requirements
• Metadata Ingestion

{% partial file="/v1.8/connectors/ingestion-modes-tiles.md" variables={yamlPath: "/connectors/pipeline/matillion/yaml"} /%}

Requirements

To extract metadata from Matillion, you need to create a user with the following permissions:

• API Permission ( While Creating the User, from Admin -> User )

Python Requirements

{% partial file="/v1.8/connectors/python-requirements.md" /%}

To run the Matillion ingestion, you will need to install:

pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[matillion]"

Metadata Ingestion

All connectors are defined as JSON Schemas. Here you can find the structure to create a connection to Matillion.

In order to create and run a Metadata Ingestion workflow, we will follow the steps to create a YAML configuration able to connect to the source, process the Entities if needed, and reach the OpenMetadata server.

The workflow is modeled around the following JSON Schema

1. Define the YAML Config

This is a sample config for Matillion:

{% codePreview %}

{% codeInfoContainer %}

Source Configuration - Service Connection

{% codeInfo srNumber=1 %}

hostPort: The hostname or IP address with the REST API enabled eg.https://<your-matillion-host-name-here>

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=2 %}

username: The username to authenticate with the Matillion instance.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=3 %}

password: The password to authenticate with the Matillion instance.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=4 %}

caCertificate : CA Certificate to authenticate with the Matillion instance.

{% /codeInfo %}
