Overview

​

What is the Collibra integration?

The Collibra integration connects Prizm data quality monitoring to the Collibra data governance catalog. Prizm pushes asset and attribute scores, measure results, data quality rule logic, and AI-generated rule descriptions to Collibra, and pulls domains, business terms, and data concepts from Collibra into the Prizm semantics layer. The integration runs through Prizm’s shared catalog sync framework, so jobs, schedules, and logs work the same way as the Alation integration.

​

What this integration enables

​

Authentication

Prizm supports these authentication methods for Collibra:

• Username and password
• OAuth 2.0 client credentials
• Vault, to fetch credentials from a connected vault integration

​

How Prizm finds the target Collibra asset

Prizm resolves the Collibra asset to update in this order:

1. Collibra Asset ID custom field. If you enter a Collibra Asset ID on a Prizm metric, that value is used first. Otherwise the ID on the Prizm asset is used. Prizm verifies that the asset exists and is accessible before writing.
2. Automatic discovery. When no ID is provided, Prizm searches Collibra using the configured community and domain together with the database, schema, table, and column names. The search must return exactly one match. If none is found, the item fails with an asset not found error, and other items in the same run continue.

Using the Collibra Asset ID custom field is the most reliable option when names in Collibra differ from names in your source.

​

Workflow

1. An admin configures the Collibra connection and selects the communities and domains to use.
2. The admin enables the push options (asset score, attribute score, and measure results) and the pull options (domains and terms).
3. Prizm runs a catalog sync job on the configured schedule, or on demand.
4. Prizm resolves each target asset, then creates or updates the Data Quality Metric assets and relations in Collibra. Writes are safe to retry.
5. The admin reviews job status, failures, and logs in Prizm.

Prerequisites

• A Collibra instance URL
• A standard Collibra service user (not an admin account) with permission to read and write assets, and to create Data Quality Metric and Dimension assets in the Rulebook and dimension domains
• The Collibra community, domains, and Data Quality Metric asset type already created. Prizm doesn’t create these
• The Collibra communities and domains to pull from, and the Rulebook and dimension domains to push to
• Admin or privileged user access in Prizm to configure integrations
