Prepare a domain for Tableau ingestion

Before you can ingest Tableau metadata, you have to designate a domain for storing the new Power BI assets. You can choose an existing domain or create one or more new domains. You then have to include the domain reference ID (or IDs) in the appropriate configuration file.

Warning If you are using Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud 2021.11 or older, you have to add all Tableau attributes in the operating model to a scope and create a scoped assignment before you ingest Tableau via the lineage harvester. For complete information and step-by-step instruction, see Tableau general troubleshooting.

Prerequisites

• You have a resource role with the Domain > Add resource permission.

Steps

1. On the main toolbar, click .
   The Create dialog box appears.
2. Click the Organization tab.
3. Click a domain type from the list.
   If you clicked the wrong domain type here, you can change it in the Type field in the next screen.
   The Create Domain dialog box appears.
4. Enter the required information.
   

   Field	Description
   Type	The domain type of the domain you are creating. In this case, you need to select BI Catalog.
   Community	The community under which the domain will be located.
   Name	The name of the new domain or domains. Tip  You can create multiple domains in one go. To do this, press Enter after typing a value and then type the next. Domain names have to be unique in their parent community. If you type a name that already exists, it will appear in strike-through style.

5. Click Create.
6. Open your domain. If you created multiple domains, open each of them in turn.
7. Copy the reference ID of each domain you created.
   Tip If you go to your domain, you can find the domain ID in the URL. The URL looks like: https://<yourcollibrainstance>/domain/22258f64-40b6-4b16-9c08-c95f8ec0da26?view=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000040001. In this example, the domain ID is in bold.
8. Paste the domain reference ID (or IDs) in the appropriate configuration file, depending on whether you want to ingest Tableau assets in a single domain or multiple domains.
   For complete information on which properties and which configuration files to use, see the domainId property description in Prepare the lineage harvester configuration file for Tableau.

Warning If you are using Collibra 2021.11 or older, you have to add all Tableau attributes in the operating model to a scope and create a scoped assignment before you ingest Tableau via the lineage harvester.
