Working with SSRS and PBRS

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and Power BI Report Server (PBRS) are server-based report generating applications, created by Microsoft, that help you see and understand your data.

PBRS is included in the licensing of the SQL Server Enterprise Edition or as a free extension of Power BI premium. SSRS and PBRS are closely related and both use the same API to communicate to the lineage harvester. As a result, Collibra created one operating model that contains data from both SSRS and PBRS. Whether you use SSRS, PBRS or both, you only need one integration in the lineage harvester configuration file.

Note While SSRS and PBRS use the same API, we can access less information from PBRS reports than from SSRS data. As a result, we do not support stitching and lineage information for PBRS reports.
