Launching profilers using Command-line

Data Catalog now supports launching Data profilers using the Command-Line Interface (CLI) option.

This, apart from launching the profilers using the Data Catalog UI. The CLI will be one executable and will not have any external dependencies. You can execute some operations in the Data Catalog service using the CDP CLI commands.

Users must have valid permission(s) to launch profilers on a data lake.

For more information about the access details, see Prerequisites to access Data Catalog service.

You must have the following entitlement granted to use this feature:

DATA_CATALOG_ENABLE_API_SERVICE

In your CDP CLI environment, enter the following command to get started in the CLI mode.

cdp datacatalog --help
