Tableau Writer (TDE)

Writes the input table as Tableau Data Extract (TDE) file. This node uses the Tableau SDK library to write the file.

In order to use this library the user needs to perform the installation steps as described on the Tableau SDK website (see below). The KNIME update site provides (experimental) Tableau binary packages, which make the steps described below unnecessary.
