Schedule MicroStrategy 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 MicroStrategy data source information to Collibra.

Collibra automatically creates new assets and relations between the MicroStrategy assets at specific times, dates or intervals, using the information in your configuration file.

Example You created a configuration file with connection information to your MicroStrategy environment. You schedule the lineage harvester job to run each Sunday at 23:00. As a result, your MicroStrategy metadata is automatically refreshed on a weekly basis.

Warning When you run the lineage harvester, Collibra Data Lineage creates all MicroStrategy 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 MicroStrategy. As a consequence, all manually added data of those assets is lost.

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