Hi Support,
I'd like to know if we can create any entity via REST API in Microsoft Purview and the data asset is not on the supported data source list. (i.e on-perm files, on-perm SSIS packages, etc.)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/create-entities?tabs=classic-portal
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/microsoft-purview-connector-overview
I have a use case with my Banking client which they have [Paper files] loaded to a [Lending Application], then loading to [Data Warehouse] using on-Perm SSIS packages.
We have Self-Hosted Integration Runtime (SHIR) ready. Wonder if there is any way we could scanned in OR manually create these relevant data assets and processes in Purview and presented as a Lineage.
Thanks
W
