About upserting assets

Upserting assets is the process of synchronizing entities that are retrieved from an external system with assets in Collibra Data Governance Center.

The integration logic creates new assets in Collibra DGC for entities that are synchronized for the first time and updates assets in Collibra DGC for entities that have been synchronized before. The outcome of the operation is the same: the state of the asset in Collibra DGC is updated to the current state of the external entity. This method is DataSense documentation enabled, for easier integration development.

You can configure the upsert operations to either create a new domain and/or community for the assets that need synchronizing or to upsert to a default domain.
