Dataset

You must have a ddw-catalogs dataset set up to hold your catalog files when you are done running the collector.

If you are using Catalog Toolkit , follow these instructions to prepare the datasets for collectors.



Exporting data file from Reltio

The collector lets users access the Reltio APIs to automatically retrieve the data file from Reltio. If you prefer not to connect to Reltio using the APIs, you can alternatively export the data file from Reltio and supply it to the collector.

To manually export the data file from Reltio:

  1. From the Reltio Console, set up an export job. Make sure to export the file as JSON. See the Reltio Documentation for more details.

  2. Place the exported JSON file in a directory on the machine from where you plan to run the collector.
