In this section, we provide guides and references to use the DomoDatabase connector.
Configure and schedule DomoDatabase metadata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:
Ingestion Deployment
To run the Ingestion via the UI you'll need to use the OpenMetadata Ingestion Container, which comes shipped with custom Airflow plugins to handle the workflow deployment. If you want to install it manually in an already existing Airflow host, you can follow this guide.
If you don't want to use the OpenMetadata Ingestion container to configure the workflows via the UI, then you can check the following docs to run the Ingestion Framework in any orchestrator externally.

For metadata ingestion, make sure to add at least data scopes to the clientId provided. For questions related to scopes, click here.
Metadata Ingestion
1. Visit the Services Page
The first step is to ingest the metadata from your sources. To do that, you first need to create a Service connection first.
This Service will be the bridge between OpenMetadata and your source system.
Once a Service is created, it can be used to configure your ingestion workflows.
Select your Service Type and Add a New Service
Add a new Service from the Services page
Select your Service from the list
4. Name and Describe your Service
Provide a name and description for your Service.
Service Name
OpenMetadata uniquely identifies Services by their Service Name. Provide a name that distinguishes your deployment from other Services, including the other Domo Database Services that you might be ingesting metadata from.
Note that when the name is set, it cannot be changed.
Provide a Name and description for your Service
5. Configure the Service Connection
In this step, we will configure the connection settings required for Domo Database.
Please follow the instructions below to properly configure the Service to read from your sources. You will also find helper documentation on the right-hand side panel in the UI.
Configure the Service connection by filling the form
Connection Details
- Client ID: Client ID for DOMO Database.
- Secret Token: Secret Token to Connect DOMO Database.
- Access Token: Access to Connect to DOMO Database.
- Api Host: API Host to Connect to DOMO Database instance.
- Instance Domain: URL to connect to your Domo instance UI. For example
https://<your>.domo.com.
6. Test the Connection
Once the credentials have been added, click on Test Connection and Save the changes.
Test the connection and save the Service
7. Configure Metadata Ingestion
In this step we will configure the metadata ingestion pipeline, Please follow the instructions below
Configure Metadata Ingestion Page
Metadata Ingestion Options
If the owner's name is openmetadata, you need to enter openmetadata@domain.com in the name section of add team/user form, click here for more info.
- Name: This field refers to the name of ingestion pipeline, you can customize the name or use the generated name.
- Database Filter Pattern (Optional): Use to database filter patterns to control whether or not to include database as part of metadata ingestion.
- Include: Explicitly include databases by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Include field. OpenMetadata will include all databases with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other databases will be excluded.
- Exclude: Explicitly exclude databases by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Exclude field. OpenMetadata will exclude all databases with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other databases will be included.
- Schema Filter Pattern (Optional): Use to schema filter patterns to control whether to include schemas as part of metadata ingestion.
- Include: Explicitly include schemas by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Include field. OpenMetadata will include all schemas with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other schemas will be excluded.
- Exclude: Explicitly exclude schemas by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Exclude field. OpenMetadata will exclude all schemas with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other schemas will be included.
- Table Filter Pattern (Optional): Use to table filter patterns to control whether to include tables as part of metadata ingestion.
- Include: Explicitly include tables by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Include field. OpenMetadata will include all tables with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other tables will be excluded.
- Exclude: Explicitly exclude tables by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Exclude field. OpenMetadata will exclude all tables with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other tables will be included.
- Include views (toggle): Set the Include views toggle to control whether to include views as part of metadata ingestion.
- Include tags (toggle): Set the 'Include Tags' toggle to control whether to include tags as part of metadata ingestion.
- Enable Debug Log (toggle): Set the Enable Debug Log toggle to set the default log level to debug.
- Include Owner(toggle): Set the 'Include Owners' toggle to control whether to include owners to the ingested entity if the owner email matches with a user stored in the OM server as part of metadata ingestion. If the ingested entity already exists and has an owner, the owner will not be overwritten.
- Mark Deleted Tables (toggle): Set the Mark Deleted Tables toggle to flag tables as soft-deleted if they are not present anymore in the source system.
- Mark Deleted Tables from Filter Only (toggle): Set the Mark Deleted Tables from Filter Only toggle to flag tables as soft-deleted if they are not present anymore within the filtered schema or database only. This flag is useful when you have more than one ingestion pipelines. For example if you have a schema
Note that the right-hand side panel in the OpenMetadata UI will also share useful documentation when configuring the ingestion.
8. Schedule the Ingestion and Deploy
Scheduling can be set up at an hourly, daily, weekly, or manual cadence. The timezone is in UTC. Select a Start Date to schedule for ingestion. It is optional to add an End Date.
Review your configuration settings. If they match what you intended, click Deploy to create the service and schedule metadata ingestion.
If something doesn't look right, click the Back button to return to the appropriate step and change the settings as needed.
After configuring the workflow, you can click on Deploy to create the pipeline.
Schedule the Ingestion Pipeline and Deploy
Troubleshooting
Workflow Deployment Error
If there were any errors during the workflow deployment process, the Ingestion Pipeline Entity will still be created, but no workflow will be present in the Ingestion container.
- You can then Edit the Ingestion Pipeline and Deploy it again.
- From the Connection tab, you can also Edit the Service if needed.
