Prepare the Tableau logical data layer

Before you can perform stitching, you have to prepare Tableau's logical data layer and Data Catalog's physical data layer. In this section, we describe how to prepare the logical data layer.

Prerequisites

• You have a global role with the Catalog global permission, for example Catalog Author.
• You have a resource role with the Configure external system resource permission, for example Owner.
• The Tableau user has the Download/Save As permission on the data source.

Steps

1. Register Tableau Server or Tableau Online.
2. Connect to Tableau Server or Tableau Online.
3. Synchronize Tableau sites.
   After synchronization, the assets of the following asset types are created in Data Catalog:
   • Tableau Data Model
   • Tableau Data Entity
   • Tableau Data Attribute

What's next?

If you haven't done so yet, prepare the Data Catalog physical data layer.

After both the logical data layer and the physical data layer are created, you can stitch them.
