Tableau V2 Connector provides connectivity between Data Integration and Tableau. You can integrate and transform data from sources, such as flat files, databases, and applications, to generate a Tableau Data Extract (TDE) output file.
You can also create a Tableau packaged workbook (TWBX) and publish the generated TWBX file to Tableau.
When you connect to sources from Tableau, you have to rely on the speed of the underlying data sources. For faster turnaround, offline access, and sharing centralized data with multiple users, you can eliminate accessing other data sources directly from Tableau and use the portable TDE file instead.
The TDE and the TWBX files are compatible with Tableau products. You can use the TDE or the TWBX file in Tableau Desktop to visualize the data extract and identify patterns and trends. You can also use the Tableau V2 connection in synchronization tasks or mapping tasks to publish the TDE or TBWX file directly to Tableau Server or Tableau Online.
