Overview

The Paradime Refresh Catalog command allows you to update your Data Catalog metadata on-demand by running dbt docs generate whenever needed. This eliminates the need to wait for the scheduled overnight refresh that typically occurs between 2-3 AM UTC.
Prerequisites
  • Generate API credentials in your Paradime workspace with Bolt Catalog admin Capabilities
  • Use the generated credentials and set as environment variables for Bolt Schedules. You can find your workspace UID in the settings > workspace tab
    • PARADIME_API_ENDPOINT
    • PARADIME_API_SECRET
    • PARADIME_WORKSPACE_UID

​
When to Use

The Paradime Refresh Catalog command is valuable when:
  • New tables are added: After creating new tables in your data warehouse
  • Schema changes occur: When table structures or column definitions are modified
  • After production deployments: Following the completion of production jobs (ex. dbt run) that modify your data warehouse schema

​
How to Configure Catalog Refresh

  1. From the Bolt UI, select Paradime Refresh Catalog as your command
  2. Configure your desired trigger type (ex. scheduled run, on run completion, etc.)
  3. Deploy your schedule
Note: Users have full control over when catalog refreshes occur - whether every hour, multiple times per day, or triggered by specific job completions.
