Overview
Once a catalog source is already created and capabilities are enabled/configured, users can start a scan (outside of Metadata Command Center) on a catalog source via API call specifying the required capabilities.
Once the scan is started, with the help of job monitoring API, users can retrieve the job details for catalog source, import, and export jobs.
Pre-Requisites
- Knowledge on Metadata Command Center, Catalog source capability configuration, API client like Postman
- For catalog source execution - the catalog source should already be created, and the required capabilities must be enabled in Metadata Command Center
