Tableau V3 objects in template-based mapping tasks

When you configure a mapping task based on an integration template, you can configure advanced properties for Tableau V3 targets.

Tableau V3 advanced target properties in mapping tasks

When you configure a mapping, you can configure the advanced target properties.
The following table describes the Tableau V3 advanced target properties:
Property
Description
Extract File Path
The file path where you want to save the generated Tableau .hyper file. Ensure that the file path is on the Secure Agent machine for Tableau Desktop.
The Secure Agent uses the following default file path for the target .hyper file: <Secure Agent installation directory>/apps/Data_Integration_Server/<latest version>/main/bin/rdtm
This file path does not apply to Tableau Server and Tableau Online. You must configure JVM options to use a different file path for Tableau Server and Tableau Online. To do this, select the DTM type and set JVMOption to -Djava.io.tmpdir=<path> in the Secure Agent properties.
Note: This property is mandatory when you create a target and publish the .hyper file to Tableau Desktop.
Extract File Name
Name for the Tableau data extract file with the .hyper extension.
Default is the file name you specified when you created the target object.
If the operation is for Tableau Server or Tableau Online, the file gets deleted after the Secure Agent publishes the .hyper file to Tableau Server or Tableau Online.
To publish a TWBX file to Tableau, you must provide the extract file name salesforce_opportunity.hyper defined in the template.
Note: This property is mandatory when you create a target and publish the .hyper file to Tableau Server. For Tableau Server, the Secure Agent overwrites the target object file name when you specify this property.
Target Operation
Creates, appends, or overwrites the .hyper file on the local machine, Tableau Server, or Tableau Online.
Select one of the following options to publish the .hyper file:
Create
Creates a .hyper file. Ensure that a .hyper file with the same name does not exist. The append operation is not applicable for the TWBX file.
Append
Adds data to an existing .hyper file.
Overwrite
Deletes the existing .hyper file and creates a new .hyper file.
The append and overwrite operations work only if there is an existing .hyper file. Default is Create.
Data Source
Name of the Tableau .hyper file that you want to publish to Tableau Server or Tableau Online. If you do not specify a data source name, the default Tableau .hyper file name remains the source name.
If you do not specify a data source name, the extract file name remains the data source name. If you do not specify both the data source name or the extract file name, the metadata file name or the target .hyper file name remains the source name.
Workbook Name
Name for the workbook that you want to publish to Tableau. If you do not specify a workbook name, the name of the TWB template file remains the workbook name.
Note: Do not add the .twbx extension in the workbook name as the Tableau V3 Connector adds the extension automatically.
Workbook Template File Name
Name and path of the Tableau packaged workbook file (TWBX) that you want to apply to the .hyper file to generate a TWBX file.
You must provide the absolute path along with the template file name and the TWBX extension. For example, /home/filename.twbx
Note: You must ensure that the workbook is of extract type when you provide the TWBX file.
Forward Rejected Rows
Determines whether the transformation passes rejected rows to the next transformation or drops rejected rows.
By default, the mapping task application forwards rejected rows to the next transformation.
