Schedule Power BI Report Server ingestion jobs

You can use Task Scheduler on Windows or Crontab on Mac and Linux to make the lineage harvester run scheduled jobs. In a scheduled job, the lineage harvester uploads the Power BI Report Server data source information to Collibra.

Collibra automatically creates new Power BI assets and relations at specific times, dates or intervals, using the information in your configuration file.

Example You created a configuration file with connection information to your Power BI Report Server environment. You schedule the lineage harvester job to run each Sunday at 23:00. As a result, your Power BI Report Server metadata is automatically refreshed on a weekly basis.

Warning When you run the lineage harvester, Collibra Data Lineage creates all Power BI assets in the same Catalog BI domain. We highly recommend that you do not move these assets to another domain. If you move assets to another domain, they will be deleted and recreated in the initial Catalog BI domain when you synchronize Power BI Report Server. As a consequence, all manually added data of those assets is lost.

Warning Relations that were manually created between Power BI assets and other assets via a relation type in the Power BI Report Server operating model, are deleted after a refresh of the Power BI Report Server metadata.
