dbt

Depositori reads a dbt project from two files dbt writes on every run: manifest.json and catalog.json. It reads the models, columns, descriptions, tests and lineage.

Before you start

• The Owner role in Depositori.
• The project’s pipeline publishes manifest.json and catalog.json to a folder in Azure Storage. Ask whoever runs the pipeline for the folder’s address. It looks like https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>/<folder>.
• A Microsoft account with read access to that container (the role Storage Blob Data Reader).

Add the connection

1. Open Connections and choose Add connection.
2. Set Type to dbt, give it a Name and paste the Artifacts folder.
3. Choose Add connection.

Read the project

On the connection’s card, choose Import dbt models, give the model a name and choose Import.

Without Azure Storage

Choose the + next to Models, then dbt, and upload the files from your computer. To update the model later, upload them again.
