Adding Connections
We've moved! To improve customer experience, the Collibra Data Quality User Guide has moved to the Collibra Documentation Center as part of the Collibra Data Quality 2022.11 release. To ensure a seamless transition, dq-docs.collibra.com will remain accessible, but the DQ User Guide is now maintained exclusively in the Documentation Center.
We will add a connection named
metastore that connects to local Postgres server (localhost:5432/postgres)- Login to DQ Web and navigate to Admin Console.

Replace the Connection URL to point to the Postgres server you want to run DQ Jobs against. In this example,
jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgresAlso change Driver Location to the JDBC Driver for Postgres in your installation. Click on the folder icon and click on Postgres driver path. These Driver Directories are default JDBC Drivers provided by DQ installation (usually in
$OWL_BASE/owl/drivers/*)
