Tableau Configuration Properties

Tableau Configuration Properties

Update the configuration properties when you create or edit a Tableau resource.
The following table describes the Tableau configuration properties:
Property
Description
Agent URL
Host name and port number of the Metadata Manager Agent. You can use the Metadata Manager Agent installed on any machine.
Source system version
Name and version of the resource. You cannot edit this field.
Server
URL or IP address where Tableau Server runs. For example:
http://<Tableau host>:<port>
Default is http://localhost:80.
Site
Site name when you extract metadata from a multi-site server. The site name is case sensitive.
User name
User name used to log in to Tableau Server.
Password
Password for the Tableau Server user account.
Group by
Category used to group the workbooks that you want to extract from Tableau. When you click
Select
next to the
Repository Objects
property, the Metadata Manager Agent groups workbooks in the dialog box by the category that you select.
You can group workbooks by the following categories:
  • Tags
  • Publisher
  • Project
  • My workbooks
  • All workbooks
Default is project.
Incremental import
Load changes since the previous resource load or load complete metadata.
Specify one of the following values:
  • True. Load recent changes only.
  • False. Perform a complete load of the metadata.
Default is true.
Multiple threads
Number of worker threads that the Metadata Manager Agent uses to extract metadata asynchronously. Leave blank or enter a positive integer value.
If blank, the Metadata Manager Agent calculates the number of worker threads. The Metadata Manager Agent allocates between one and six threads based on the JVM architecture and the number of available CPU cores on the machine that runs the Metadata Manager Agent. If you specify a value that is not valid, the Metadata Manager Agent allocates one worker thread.
Reduce the number of worker threads if the Metadata Manger Agent generates out of memory errors when it extracts metadata. You can increase the number of worker threads if the machine that runs the Metadata Manager Agent has a large amount of available memory, for example, 10 GB or more. However, if you specify too many worker threads, performance can decrease.
Default is blank.
Auto assign connections
Metadata Manager configures connection assignments to relational database resource types during the resource load. If you disable this option, configure connection assignments in the resource properties after you create the resource.
Repository objects
The workbooks that you want to extract from Tableau. Click
Select
to select individual workbooks or groups of workbooks. In the selection dialog box, Metadata Manager groups workbooks according to the category you choose in the
Group by
property.
When you select one or more workbooks, this field displays the Tableau workbook ID for each selected workbook.
The Metadata Manager Agent extracts the dependent data sources for all selected workbooks.
Exclude Repository Objects
The subset of the repository objects such as workbooks and data sources that you want to exclude during import. For the selected workbooks, all the dependent data sources are excluded during import.
