Microsoft Power BI to Alation

Information Asset has developed a solution that import metadata of reports from Microsoft Power BI to Alation. The integration enables a user to import reports and dashboards from Microsoft Power BI into Alation and shows dashboards and reports in Alation (https://www.alation.com).

The audience for this solution is users of both Alation and Microsoft who wish to see reports from Power BI cataloged in Alation.

This solution requires Java 8 and is packaged as an executable JAR file. It uses the Power BI Rest API to pull data from Power BI and the Alation REST API to push data to Alation. The solution can run in either a Windows or Linux/Unix environment.
