Publish all SAP Analytics Cloud assets

Note You need to be a System Administrator in SAP Datasphere Catalog to perform this action.

Collibra Data Lineage can only ingest assets in SAP Datasphere Catalog that are published. Therefore, you need to ensure that all of the SAP Analytics Cloud assets in SAP Datasphere Catalog are published. You need at least one published asset for the APIs to work.

  1. In SAP, on the SAP Datasphere homepage, click Catalog > Catalog.

    The Catalog page opens.
  2. In the filters pane, click on the SAP Analytics Cloud system from which you want to ingest assets. In the following example image, the SAP Analytics Cloud system we want is named "88GRE".

  3. Ensure that all of your SAP Analytics Cloud systems have the status Published. If they are, there's nothing more to do. If they aren't, proceed to the next step.

  4. Click the Assets checkbox, to select all assets.
    Note You can only publish assets that have the functional status Current.
  5. In the Publish Actions drop-down list, click Publish.
Tip 

You enable or disable the Auto Publish feature at the system level. By default, this feature is disabled.

  1. In SAP, on the SAP Datasphere homepage, click Catalog > Monitoring.

    The Remote Systems page opens.
  2. Select the system for which you want to enable auto-publication.
  3. Above the list of systems, click .
