Connecting to Temp Files
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.
Temp files allow you to upload and run a DQ job on files directly from your local machine. This is not a recommended connection for more advanced users but can be useful when you first get started in Collibra Data Quality.
To connect to a temp file, you need:
- A file in a supported file format saved on your local drive.
- To verify that the Allow Temp File Upload for DQ Job checkbox under Admin Console > Security Configuration is checked.
Ensure that Allow Temp File Upload for DQ Job is checked.
- 1.In the main menu, click the Explorer button. >> Explorer opens.
- 2.Click Temp Files. >> Temp Files expands.
- 3.Click Add Temp File. >> Upload Temp File alert opens.
- 4.Click Choose File.
- 5.Select a file from your local drive.
- 6.Click Open. >> Your file loads into the Temp Files folder.
- 7.In the Temp Files folder in the application, select your file.
- 8.Click Create DQ Job.
- 9.Verify your file information and enter the required information.
- 10.Click Load File. >> The application automatically reads your file and opens Scope & Range.
- 11.Select your DQ layers. >> You can also leave the defaults set.
- 12.Click Save & Run.
- 13.Enter a unique name and any additional information. >> Note: Temp files differ from other remote file connections in that they do not require an agent to run successfully. This is a legacy component.
- 14.Click the Run CMD tab. >> This is a bypass step for temp files.
- 15.Click Run. >> Your job is sent to the Jobs queue.
All temp files are only temporarily stored in the application. At 11:59 PM EST, all temp files uploaded on a given day are automatically removed.
