Tableau ingestion results

The following tables shows the ingestion results based on Tableau permissions.

By default, the lineage harvester uses both the Tableau REST API and the Tableau Metadata API, but you can limit the ingestion by allowing the lineage harvester to use only the Tableau REST API.

Note If you ingest a Tableau dataset that doesn't have any attributes, asterisks (*) are shown as the Tableau Data Attribute asset names in Collibra.
