1. Installation

Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

With virtualenv, it's possible to install this library without needing system install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system dependencies. Make sure you use Python 3.6+.

1.1. Mac/Linux

pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv --python python3.6 <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
<your-env>/bin/pip install google-datacatalog-teradata-connector

1.2. Windows

pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv --python python3.6 <your-env>
<your-env>\Scripts\activate
<your-env>\Scripts\pip.exe install google-datacatalog-teradata-connector

1.3. Install from source

1.3.1. Get the code

git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/datacatalog-connectors-rdbms/
cd datacatalog-connectors-rdbms/google-datacatalog-teradata-connector

1.3.2. Create and activate a virtualenv

pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv --python python3.6 <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate

1.3.3. Install the library

pip install .

2. Environment setup

2.1. Auth credentials

2.1.1. Create a service account and grant it below roles

  • Data Catalog Admin

2.1.2. Download a JSON key and save it as

  • <YOUR-CREDENTIALS_FILES_FOLDER>/teradata2dc-credentials.json

Please notice this folder and file will be required in next steps.

2.2. Set environment variables

Replace below values according to your environment:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=data_catalog_credentials_file

export TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_PROJECT_ID=google_cloud_project_id
export TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_LOCATION_ID=google_cloud_location_id
export TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_SERVER=teradata_server
export TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_USERNAME=teradata_username
export TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_PASSWORD=teradata_password
export TERADATA2DC_RAW_METADATA_CSV=teradata_raw_csv (If supplied ignores the Teradata server credentials)

3. Run entry point

3.1. Run Python entry point

  • Virtualenv
google-datacatalog-teradata-connector \
--datacatalog-project-id=$TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_PROJECT_ID \
--datacatalog-location-id=$TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_LOCATION_ID \
--teradata-host=$TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_SERVER \
--teradata-user=$TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_USERNAME \
--teradata-pass=$TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_PASSWORD \
--raw-metadata-csv=$TERADATA2DC_RAW_METADATA_CSV      

3.2. Run Docker entry point

docker build -t teradata2datacatalog .
docker run --rm --tty -v YOUR-CREDENTIALS_FILES_FOLDER:/data teradata2datacatalog \
--datacatalog-project-id=$TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_PROJECT_ID  \
--datacatalog-location-id=$TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_LOCATION_ID \
--teradata-host=$TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_SERVER \
--teradata-user=$TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_USERNAME \
--teradata-pass=$TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_PASSWORD \
--raw-metadata-csv=$TERADATA2DC_RAW_METADATA_CSV    

4 Scripts inside tools

4.1. Run clean up

# List of projects split by comma. Can be a single value without comma
export TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_PROJECT_IDS=my-project-1,my-project-2
# Run the clean up
python tools/cleanup_datacatalog.py --datacatalog-project-ids=$TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_PROJECT_IDS 

4.2. Extract CSV

export TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_PROJECT_ID=my-project
export TERADATA2DC_DATACATALOG_LOCATION_ID=us-central1
export TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_SERVER=localhost
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=teradata2dc-datacatalog-credentials.json


export TERADATA2DC_RAW_METADATA_CSV=teradata_extract.csv
python tools/teradata2datacatalog_csv_extractor.py \
--teradata-host=$TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_SERVER \
--teradata-user=$TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_USERNAME \
--teradata-pass=$TERADATA2DC_TERADATA_PASSWORD \
--raw-metadata-csv=$TERADATA2DC_RAW_METADATA_CSV

5.3. Run Tests

python setup.py test

6. Metrics

Metrics README.md

7. Troubleshooting

In the case a connector execution hits Data Catalog quota limit, an error will be raised and logged with the following detailement, depending on the performed operation READ/WRITE/SEARCH:

status = StatusCode.RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED
details = "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Read requests' and limit 'Read requests per minute' of service 'datacatalog.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:1111111111111'."
debug_error_string = 
"{"created":"@1587396969.506556000", "description":"Error received from peer ipv4:172.217.29.42:443","file":"src/core/lib/surface/call.cc","file_line":1056,"grpc_message":"Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Read requests' and limit 'Read requests per minute' of service 'datacatalog.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:1111111111111'.","grpc_status":8}"
