Bridge Support
\[The Bridge component is used as a Tunnel to Transfer Data from the Client-Hosted Cloud or Client-on-Premises Data Center. The handshake between the Bridge Server and Client is established with a Security Tool Kit (these differ from client to client and are generated based on the IP address/DNS, etc.).]

The following are the prerequisites for connecting the connector and the OvalEdge application. * Any ETL tool that runs on bigdata echo system. * Spline Server (Consumer URL). 2. Configure Environment Variables (Optional)\ This section describes the settings or instructions you should know before establishing a connection. If your environments have been configured, skip this step. For more information, refer to the "[Generic Features of Connectors](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p-qODOxHwnfLO-M1lag4TLpO2S6cZvq7oz3f-v7DyZU/edit#heading=h.a068g7zhum9t)" document. ### Establish Connection In the OvalEdge application, the Spline connector allows you to crawl the jobs and build the lineage. The "[Generic Features of Connectors](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p-qODOxHwnfLO-M1lag4TLpO2S6cZvq7oz3f-v7DyZU/edit#heading=h.a068g7zhum9t)" document covers general settings and parameters common to most OvalEdge connectors. Here, we'll focus on the specific details required to configure the Spline connector. #### Spline Specific Parameters | Field Name | Description | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | License Type\* |License Type: Choose the appropriate license type from the drop-down list.

| Important: \* (asterisk) indicates the mandatory field to create a connection. After entering the required parameters, you can save the connection details first or validate the connection and then save it. ### Errors & Resolution You may encounter the following errors if the correct parameters are not provided while establishing the connection. Below are the most common error messages and their resolutions for your reference. If you continue to experience issues with establishing the connection, please contact your assigned OvalEdge Customer Success Management (CSM) team. | S.No. | Error Message(s) | Error Description / Resolution | | ----- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | Connection Timeout |Error Description
This error occurs when the connector is unable to establish a connection within a specified time frame.
Resolution
Ensure network stability, verify server status, review, and correct configuration settings, adjust timeout parameters if possible, and ensure firewalls are not blocking the connection.
| | 2 | 403 Forbidden |Error Description
This error typically means that the client does not have permission to access the requested resource.
Resolution
To resolve the Spline connector "403 Forbidden" error, ensure proper user permissions, verify authentication credentials, check and allow client IP in server access controls, confirm the correct URL, and review server configuration settings.
| | 3 | Broken Pipeline |Description
The "Broken Pipeline" error in the context of the Spline connector typically occurs when the connection between the Spark job and the Spline server is unexpectedly terminated. This could be due to network issues, server crashes, or interruptions in the data flow process, causing the pipeline to break and preventing the successful tracking of data lineage.
Resolution
Ensure network stability, verify the Spline server status, increase timeout settings, review configuration settings, allocate sufficient resources, and implement retry logic.
| | 4 | 404 Not Found |Description
The "404 Not Found" error indicates that the requested resource could not be found on the Spline server.
Resolution
Verify the URL, check resource availability, review server configuration, update any outdated links, and check server logs.
| ### Connector Settings When the Auto Lineage License type is selected, the Lineage setting option is enabled for the Spline Connector. The purpose of the lineage setting is to allow you to change the server/source connection to build the lineage. You can configure multiple servers simultaneously in the Select server dialects to use for parsing source codes, which is mandatory. You can also set the Connector priority to specify the connection for table Lineage to pick the source table for lineage building. ### FAQs (Connector-Specific) Q2: Can I access the Spline connector from a Linux system? A: Yes! You can use the Spline connector with API from Linux, Unix, and other non-Windows platforms.
