MicroStrategy operating model

The harvester collects MicroStrategy metadata and sends it to the Collibra Data Lineage server. Collibra processes the metadata and creates new MicroStrategy assets and relations in Data Catalog. You can see them on the asset page overview or visualize them in a diagram or in a technical lineage.

Note 
  • The assets have the same names as their counterparts in MicroStrategy. You cannot edit Full names and Names in Data Catalog.
  • Asset types are only created if you have all specific MicroStrategy and Data Catalog permissions.
  • All MicroStrategy assets are created in the same domain.
  • Relations that were manually created between MicroStrategy assets and other assets via a relation type in the MicroStrategy operating model, are deleted after synchronizing the MicroStrategy metadata.
