If you cannot connect to the data source from the Hopex Data Governance desktop, for example for security reasons, you can download the stand-alone version of Data Discovery . In this mode, the metadata description is exported in a Json file. that you can then import into HOPEX. For more details, see Usind Data Discovery in Stand-alone mode.
