MicroStrategy operating model (NEW)(Beta)

When you integrate MicroStrategy, Collibra Data Lineage creates new MicroStrategy assets and relations in Data Catalog. You can see them on the asset page overview or visualize them in a diagram.

Note 
  • The assets have the same names as their corresponding data objects in MicroStrategy.
  • 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.

MicroStrategy metadata overview

The following image shows the relations between MicroStrategy asset types.

Harvested metadata per asset type

This table shows the harvested MicroStrategy metadata for assets of each MicroStrategy asset type, assuming you have the necessary subscriptions and configurations for a full ingestion.

Important To access MicroStrategy data, you have to use the In-memory Dataset connection method in MicroStrategy, not the Live Connect connection method. If the data is not stored in memory, the MicroStrategy APIs can't access it.

Note The following folders in MicroStrategy are not included in the ingestion:
  • Object Templates
  • System Objects
  • Version Update History
