In this section, we provide guides and references to use the DB2 connector.

Configure and schedule DB2 metadata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

• Requirements

• Data Profiler
• Data Quality
• dbt Integration

Requirements

To create a new Db2 user please follow the guidelines mentioned here

Db2 user must have the below permissions to ingest the metadata:

• SELECT privilege on SYSCAT.SCHEMATA to fetch the metadata of schemas.

-- Grant SELECT on tables for schema metadata
GRANT SELECT ON SYSCAT.SCHEMATA TO USER_NAME;

• SELECT privilege on SYSCAT.TABLES to fetch the metadata of tables.

-- Grant SELECT on tables for table metadata
GRANT SELECT ON SYSCAT.TABLES TO USER_NAME;

• SELECT privilege on SYSCAT.VIEWS to fetch the metadata of views.

-- Grant SELECT on tables for view metadata
GRANT SELECT ON SYSCAT.VIEWS TO USER_NAME;

Profiler & Data Quality

Executing the profiler workflow or data quality tests, will require the user to have SELECT permission on the tables/schemas where the profiler/tests will be executed. More information on the profiler workflow setup can be found here and data quality tests here.
