Integration of SAP Business Objects with Collibra
Overview
The SAP Business Objects (BOBJ) to Collibra Data Governance Center (DGC) integration is using Mule platform to integrate SAP BOBJ to Collibra DGC. This solution enables a user to fetch all the SAP BO artifacts like Universes (type ‘unx’), classes, objects, table, column, schema, Web Intelligence (WEBI) document and reports, along with the query and variables and ingest them as assets of their respective asset types into Collibra DGC. The solution also maintains the hierarchy between universe, classes, object, column, table, schema, Web Intelligence document, query, variables, and Report. The solution makes use of WebApp which is a web service that enables users to use SAP SDK from any machine and retrieve the WebApp dependent objects namely tables, schema, column, and nested classes. WebApp configuration is optional and depends purely upon user requirements. This solution supports incremental update based on optional date filter.
