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

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

If you don't want to use the OpenMetadata Ingestion container to configure the workflows via the UI, then you can check the following docs to connect using Airflow SDK or with the CLI.

Requirements

To deploy OpenMetadata, check the Deployment guides.

To run the Ingestion via the UI you'll need to use the OpenMetadata Ingestion Container, which comes shipped with custom Airflow plugins to handle the workflow deployment.

For Remote Connection

1. SQL Server running

Make sure the SQL server that you are trying to connect is in running state.

2. Allow remote connection on MSSMS(Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio)

This step allow the sql server to accept remote connection request.

Remote Connection

3. Configure Windows Firewall

If you are using SQL server on windows, you must configure the firewall on the computer running SQL Server to allow access.

  • Step 1: On the Start menu, select Run, type WF.msc, and then select OK.

Step 2: In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, in the left pane, right-click Inbound Rules, and then select New Rule in the action pane.

Step 3: In the Rule Type dialog box, select Port, and then select Next.

Step 4: In the Protocol and Ports dialog box, select TCP. Select Specific local ports, and then type the port number of the instance of the Database Engine, such as 1433 for the default instance. Select Next.

Step 5: In the Action dialog box, select Allow the connection, and then select Next.

Step 6: In the Profile dialog box, select any profiles that describe the computer connection environment when you want to connect to the Database Engine, and then select Next.

Step 7: In the Name dialog box, type a name and description for this rule, and then select Finish.

For details step please refer the this link.

Metadata Ingestion

1. Visit the Services Page

The first step is ingesting the metadata from your sources. Under Settings, you will find a Services link an external source system to OpenMetadata. Once a service is created, it can be used to configure metadata, usage, and profiler workflows.

To visit the Services page, select Services from the Settings menu.

Visit Services Page

2. Create a New Service

Click on the Add New Service button to start the Service creation.

Create a new service

3. Select the Service Type

Select MSSQL as the service type and click Next.

Select Service

4. Name and Describe your Service

Provide a name and description for your service as illustrated below.

Service Name

OpenMetadata uniquely identifies services by their Service Name. Provide a name that distinguishes your deployment from other services, including the other {connector} services that you might be ingesting metadata from.

Add New Service

5. Configure the Service Connection

In this step, we will configure the connection settings required for this connector. Please follow the instructions below to ensure that you've configured the connector to read from your mssql service as desired.

Configure service connection

Once the credentials have been added, click on Test Connection and Save the changes.

Test Connection

Connection Options

  • Connection Scheme: Defines how to connect to MSSQL. We support mssql+pytds, mssql+pyodbc, and mssql+pymssql.
  • Username: Specify the User to connect to MSSQL. It should have enough privileges to read all the metadata.
  • Password: Password to connect to MSSQL.
  • Host and Port: Enter the fully qualified hostname and port number for your MSSQL deployment in the Host and Port field.
  • URI String: In case of a pyodbc connection.
  • Database (Optional): The database of the data source is an optional parameter, if you would like to restrict the metadata reading to a single database. If left blank, OpenMetadata ingestion attempts to scan all the databases.
  • Connection Options (Optional): Enter the details for any additional connection options that can be sent to MSSQL during the connection. These details must be added as Key-Value pairs.
  • Connection Arguments (Optional): Enter the details for any additional connection arguments such as security or protocol configs that can be sent to MSSQL during the connection. These details must be added as Key-Value pairs.
    • In case you are using Single-Sign-On (SSO) for authentication, add the authenticator details in the Connection Arguments as a Key-Value pair as follows: "authenticator" : "sso_login_url"
    • In case you authenticate with SSO using an external browser popup, then add the authenticator details in the Connection Arguments as a Key-Value pair as follows: "authenticator" : "externalbrowser"

6. Configure Metadata Ingestion

In this step we will configure the metadata ingestion pipeline, Please follow the instructions below

Configure Metadata Ingestion

Metadata Ingestion Options

  • Name: This field refers to the name of ingestion pipeline, you can customize the name or use the generated name.
  • Database Filter Pattern (Optional): Use to database filter patterns to control whether or not to include database as part of metadata ingestion.
    • Include: Explicitly include databases by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Include field. OpenMetadata will include all databases with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other databases will be excluded.
    • Exclude: Explicitly exclude databases by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Exclude field. OpenMetadata will exclude all databases with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other databases will be included.
  • Schema Filter Pattern (Optional): Use to schema filter patterns to control whether or not to include schemas as part of metadata ingestion.
    • Include: Explicitly include schemas by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Include field. OpenMetadata will include all schemas with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other schemas will be excluded.
    • Exclude: Explicitly exclude schemas by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Exclude field. OpenMetadata will exclude all schemas with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other schemas will be included.
  • Table Filter Pattern (Optional): Use to table filter patterns to control whether or not to include tables as part of metadata ingestion.
    • Include: Explicitly include tables by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Include field. OpenMetadata will include all tables with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other tables will be excluded.
    • Exclude: Explicitly exclude tables by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Exclude field. OpenMetadata will exclude all tables with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other tables will be included.
  • Include views (toggle): Set the Include views toggle to control whether or not to include views as part of metadata ingestion.
  • Include tags (toggle): Set the Include tags toggle to control whether or not to include tags as part of metadata ingestion.
  • Enable Debug Log (toggle): Set the Enable Debug Log toggle to set the default log level to debug, these logs can be viewed later in Airflow.
  • Mark Deleted Tables (toggle): This is an optional configuration for enabling soft deletion of tables. When this option is enabled, only tables that have been deleted from the source will be soft deleted, and this will apply solely to the schema that is currently being ingested via the pipeline. Any related entities such as test suites or lineage information that were associated with those tables will also be deleted..
  • Mark All Deleted Tables (toggle): This is an optional configuration for enabling soft deletion of tables. When this option is enabled, only tables that have been deleted from the source will be soft deleted, and this will apply to all the schemas available in the data source. Any related entities such as test suites or lineage information that were associated with those tables will also be deleted. Do not enable this option when you have multiple metadata ingestion pipelines. Also make sure to enable the markDeletedTables option for this to work.
  • Auto Tag PII(toggle): Auto PII tagging checks for column name to mark PII Sensitive/NonSensitive tag

7. Schedule the Ingestion and Deploy

Scheduling can be set up at an hourly, daily, or weekly cadence. The timezone is in UTC. Select a Start Date to schedule for ingestion. It is optional to add an End Date.

Review your configuration settings. If they match what you intended, click Deploy to create the service and schedule metadata ingestion.

If something doesn't look right, click the Back button to return to the appropriate step and change the settings as needed.

Schedule the Workflow

After configuring the workflow, you can click on Deploy to create the pipeline.

8. View the Ingestion Pipeline

Once the workflow has been successfully deployed, you can view the Ingestion Pipeline running from the Service Page.

View Ingestion Pipeline

9. Workflow Deployment Error

If there were any errors during the workflow deployment process, the Ingestion Pipeline Entity will still be created, but no workflow will be present in the Ingestion container.

You can then edit the Ingestion Pipeline and Deploy it again.

Workflow Deployment Error

From the Connection tab, you can also Edit the Service if needed.
