Hi I am new to Ataccama and would like to understand the Sql Catalog Item feature provided in Ataccama web v15.4.

I am trying to create a sql catalog item on a table and unable to save it to workspace → new folder

I am curious to know what level of access is needed on Ataccama to save the SCI. Also would like to know where exactly the SCI and it’s metadata is stored.

Hi ​@mp_ataccamauser , welcome to Ataccama! SQL CIs and workspaces are stored on the Ataccama DB: whenever the SQL CI is profiled or DQ’ed or a live data preview is requested, the query will call the source to read the data, but no object will be created on the source itself.

If you can’t create a new workspace/folder for an SQL CI then you’re likely an editor on the source. The source owner/full access user should set up workspaces for you and as an editor you will be able to place new SQL CIs in them.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions.
