Core Connector Core connectors are included with all Alation platform tiers (subject to each tier’s connector limits) and are fully supported by Alation.

The Talend OCF connector supports metadata extraction (MDE) based on default queries built in the connector code but does not support custom query-based MDE. To configure metadata extraction, go to the Metadata Extraction tab of the settings page.

For information on the available configuration options, see Configure Metadata Extraction for OCF Data Sources.
