Send to Tableau Server (Hyper)

This Node Is Deprecated — This node is kept for backwards-compatibility, but the usage in new workflows is no longer recommended. The documentation below might contain more information.

Sends the input data to a Tableau Server. The node uses the Tableau Extract API 2.0 to generate a hyper file and, secondly, send that hyper file as a datasource to the Tableau Server via the Tableau REST API.

Uses version 2.8 of the Tableau Server REST API. Therefore the minimum Tableau server version is 10.5.

In order to use this library the user needs to perform the installation steps as described on the Tableau Integration page.

Options

If file exits...
Specify the behavior of the node in case the output datasource already exists. Overwrite will replace an existing datasource, Append will append the input table to the end of the datasource and Abort will issue an error during the node's execution (to prevent unintentional overwrite).
