Before you can browse and search metadata in the Metadata Manager warehouse, you must configure Metadata Manager and create and load resources.
Complete the following steps to load metadata from a metadata source into the Metadata Manager warehouse:
Set up Metadata Manager.
Create a Metadata Manager Service and install the Metadata Manager Agent.
Create and configure resources.
Create resources that represent the metadata sources from which you want to extract metadata. Configure parameters and connection assignments for the resources.
Manage resources.
Purge metadata for a previously loaded resource and update the index for resources.
Load and monitor resources.
Load a resource to load the metadata for the resource into the Metadata Manager warehouse. When you load a resource, Metadata Manager extracts and loads the metadata for the resource. If you modify connection assignments after loading a resource, create links between objects in connected resources. You can monitor the status of all resources and the status of individual resources. You can also schedule resource loads.
Manage resource and object permissions for Metadata Manager users.
You can configure the resources and metadata objects in the warehouse for which Metadata Manager users have access.
You can use Metadata Manager command line programs to load resources, monitor the status of resource loads, and back up and restore the Metadata Manager repository.
