Schedule Tableau 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 Tableau metadata information to Collibra.

Collibra automatically creates new Tableau assets and stitches the Tableau assets to existing data sources in Data Catalog at specific times, dates or intervals, using the information in your configuration file.

Warning When you run the lineage harvester, Collibra Data Lineage creates all Tableau assets in the BI Catalog domain (or domains) you specified. We highly recommend that you do not move these assets to other domains. If you move assets to other domains, they will be deleted and recreated in the initial BI Catalog domains when you synchronize Tableau. As a result, all manually added characteristics of those assets are lost.

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