Prepare a domain for Tableau ingestion

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

Prerequisites

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.
    FieldDescription

    Type

    The domain type of the domain you are creating. In this case, you need to select BI Catalog.

    CommunityThe 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 Tableau assets in a single BI Catalog 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 BI Catalog domain when you synchronize Tableau. As a consequence, all manually added data of those assets is lost.

Warning If you are using Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud 2021.11 or older, you have to add all Tableau attributes in the operating model to a scope and create a scoped assignment before you ingest Tableau via the lineage harvester.
