You run the lineage harvester to start the BI tool ingestion workflow. When you initiate the integration, each workflow component performs the following actions:
-
The lineage harvester:
- Communicates with your BI tool.
- Harvests the BI tool metadata that will be ingested into Data Catalog.
- Sends the metadata to the Collibra Data Lineage service instance.
- Collibra:
- Analyzes the metadata.
- Creates new assets and relations.
- Stitches existing assets in Data Catalog to BI assets.
- Imports new BI assets and their relations in Data Catalog.
- Data Catalog:
- Includes the new BI assets.
- Includes a technical lineage tab on the relevant BI asset pages.
- Shows stitching results between BI Column assets and Column assets.
