Send to Tableau Server (TDE)

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 SDK library to generate a TDE file and, secondly, upload that TDE file to the Tableau Server.

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

Options

Main Configuration

Host
The URL of the server to connect to.
Username
The username of the user to sign in as. The user must have permissions to publish to the specified site.
Password
The password of the user to sign in as.
SiteID
The site ID. Pass an empty string to connect to the default site.
Project Name
The name of the project to publish the extract to.
Data Source
The name of the data source to create on the server.
Overwrite
If checked, overwrite an existing data source on the server that has the same name.
Proxy Username/Password
The username and password for the HTTP proxy. This method is needed only if the server connection is going through a proxy that requires authentication and is required here as the Tableau library does not inherit KNIME's proxy settings.

Installation

  3. Depending on your operating system, you need to perform additional installation steps, described in the preferences page.
