dbt Cloud

Requirements

You'll need to be a dbt Cloud administrator to be able to provide the followings.

Catalog Managed

To get things started with dbt Cloud in Catalog, you will need to provide us with:

A service token

Please this dbt guide in order to generate it

Then setup those permissions:

• If you are on a Team plans: add a Read-Only to all the relevant projects

• If you are on an Enterprise plans: add a Stakeholder to all the relevant projects

Careful, when creating a Token, it can only be accessed at their creation, afterwards, it will no longer be visible. Make sure you copy it somewhere (safe) !

The dbt Base URL of your account

By default, https://cloud.getdbt.com will be used but depending on your region, URL might change. See more in dbt documentation.

The ID of your main 'run' job in production

Among several jobs you run in production, one often actualizes all tables of your project

On https://cloud.getdbt.com/ you can go in Deploy > Jobs and select the job that matches the description above The ID is featured in the URL, right after ‘jobs/’

You can input the your API Token and your job ID directly in the App

For your first sync, it will take up to 48h and we will let you know when it is complete
