Prepare the Tableau logical data layer

Warning The end of life of Jobserver and all related Jobserver integrations has been announced for September 30, 2024. This means that the Tableau via Jobserver integration method is deprecated and will also reach its end of life on September 30, 2024. To integrate Tableau metadata and create lineage, please use Edge or lineage harvester.

Before you can perform stitching, you have to prepare Tableau's logical data layer and Data Catalog's physical data layer. In this section, we describe how to prepare the logical data layer.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Register Tableau Server or Tableau Online.
  2. Connect to Tableau Server or Tableau Online.
  3. Synchronize Tableau sites.
    After synchronization, the assets of the following asset types are created in Data Catalog:
    • Tableau Data Model
    • Tableau Data Entity
    • Tableau Data Attribute

What's next?

If you haven't done so yet, prepare the Data Catalog physical data layer.

After both the logical data layer and the physical data layer are created, you can stitch them.
