Schedule Tableau 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 Tableau metadata information to Collibra.

Collibra automatically creates new Tableau assets and stitches the Tableau assets to existing data sources in Data Catalog at specific times, dates or intervals, using the information in your configuration file.

Warning We highly recommend that you do not move the ingested assets to a different domain. If you do, the assets will be deleted and recreated in the initial BI Catalog domain when you synchronize Tableau. As a consequence, any manually added data of those assets is lost.

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