Technical lineage for MicroStrategy (NEW, beta)

When you ingest MicroStrategy metadata in Data Catalog, Collibra Data Lineage automatically creates a technical lineage.

To view the technical lineage, click the Technical lineage tab on the asset page of any of the following asset types:

  • Table
  • Column
  • MicroStrategy Data Attribute
  • MicroStrategy Report

The Technical lineage tab is only shown if you have the Data Catalog global role with the Catalog and Technical lineage global permissions.

Note If you ingest MicroStrategy for the first time or if you change your geolocation or cloud provider, you have to restart the DGC service before you can see the technical lineage.

Technical lineage graph

The technical lineage graph shows relations of the type "Data Element targets / sources Data Element" between BI assets and other data objects in the data flow, for example Column assets or MicroStrategy Data Attribute assets. These relations are created during the MicroStrategy ingestion process as a result of automatic stitching.

Sources tab page

The Sources tab page shows the transformation details that were analyzed and processed on the Collibra Data Lineage service instance and the results of this analysis. The success rate of the analysis indicates how complete the technical lineage is.

Example

The following image shows that you have created a technical lineage for two data sources. SAP HANA has a success rate of 83%. When you use the transformation logs to investigate the errors, you see that the Collibra Data Lineage service instance couldn't process some elements of the SAP HANA metadata, for example because they are not supported or because there is an issue in the configuration file.
