Connections

MDP_Connections.png

A connection is a configuration for connecting to and reading data from a data source, such as a JDBC connection string. The platform uses this connection information to read metadata attributes from a data asset, to read the data itself, and to write the processed data to the target location.

As a data owner, you set up a connection to ingest data and metadata from a data source into the platform.
