Parsing

After successfully discovering and selecting BI entities, Admin should navigate to the BI connectors page in the admin panel. Admin can then start detailed parsing by clicking the Start preset parsing button.

As a result of successful parsing, Analytics hub will create:

• objects with attributes, depending on the mapping
• relations between BI objects, depending on relations schemes for Power BI or Tableau

The parsing process has different steps depending on the connector type.

Power BI parsing

Using Principal API only

1. Create Workspace objects in Analytics hub
2. Create Dashboard and Tile objects
3. Saturate Dashboards objects with Power BI links
4. Create Report objects and saturate them with Power BI links
5. Create Dataset and Datasource objects in Accton
6. Create Table objects
7. Create a Table field and Measure objects
8. Generate relations between objects

Additional steps for import using Standard API

9. Get and Parse PBIX files (Accton doesn`t store PBIX files)
10. Parse Tables entities from PBIX to create Tables, Indicators, Dimensions and Filter objects
11. Generate relations between objects

Parse RDL reports with Standard API

1. Create Workspace objects in Analytics hub
2. Create Report objects
3. Parse XML file for other object types
4. Create RDL Dataset objects
5. Create RDL Cells objects
6. Create RDLData Sources objects
7. Create RDL Parameters objects
8. Generate relations between objects

Tableau parsing

1. Create Project objects
2. Create Workbook objects
3. Create and Parse Views objects
4. Generate relations between objects
5. Create and Store Parameter objects
6. Create and Store Sheet objects (including Datasource, Database, Table, Column, Field and Metric objects)
7. Generate relations between objects

Please note, all errors during parsing will be stored in the Errors log tab in each preset.
