Tableau V2 Connections Overview

Create a Tableau V2 connection to create a TDE file in a directory on the machine where you installed the Cloud agent and then publish the TDE file to Tableau Server or Tableau Online.
You create a Tableau V2 connection on the Connections page. When you create the Tableau V2 connection, enter the connection attributes that are specific to the Tableau product to which you want to connect. Use the Tableau V2 connection when you create a target object in a synchronization task or mapping task.
You can specify Tableau Desktop, Tableau Server, or Tableau Online in the connection properties. Specify Tableau Desktop when you want to create a TDE file in the local machine. To publish the generated TDE file to Tableau Server or Tableau Online, provide the Tableau Server or Tableau Online URL and the user credentials. When you provide the Tableau template file path, the Secure Agent generates the TDE file from the source object based on the data representation in the specified Tableau template file.
