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

Configure and schedule Wherescape metadata workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

• Requirements
• Metadata Ingestion

Requirements

Python Requirements

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

pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[wherescape]"

{% /note %}

Metadata Ingestion

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

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 Wherescape:

{% codePreview %}

{% codeInfoContainer %}

Source Configuration - Service Connection

{% codeInfo srNumber=1 %}

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=1 %}

connection:

In terms of connection we support the following selections:

• Mssql: Pass the required credentials to reach out this service. We will create a connection to the pointed database and read Wherescape data from there.
