Prepare a domain for Looker ingestion

You can create a new domain for your Looker assets and use the domain ID in the lineage harvester configuration file. As a result, Collibra uses this domain to ingest all Looker assets during the Looker integration process.

Prerequisites

• You have a resource role with the Domain > Add resource permission.

Steps

1. In the main menu, click the Create () button.
   The Create dialog box appears.
2. Click the Organization tab.
3. Click a domain type from the list.
   If you clicked the wrong domain type here, you can change it in the Type field in the next screen.
   The Create Domain dialog box appears.
4. Enter the required information.
   

   Field	Description
   Type	The domain type of the domain you are creating. In this case, you need to select BI Catalog.
   Community	The community under which the domain will be located.
   Name	The name of the new domain.

5. Click Create.
6. Open your domain.
7. Copy the domain ID.
   Tip If you go to your domain, you can find the domain ID in the URL. The URL looks like: https://<yourcollibrainstance>/domain/22258f64-40b6-4b16-9c08-c95f8ec0da26?view=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000040001. In this example, the domain ID is in bold.
8. Paste the domain ID in the lineage harvester configuration file.

Warning When you run the lineage harvester, Collibra Data Lineage creates all Looker assets in the same Data 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 Data Catalog BI domain when you synchronize Looker. As a consequence, all manually added data of those assets is lost.
