Tableau V2 connection properties

When you set up a Tableau V2 connection, you must configure the connection properties.
The following table describes the Tableau V2 connection properties:
Connection property
Description
Runtime Environment
The name of the run-time environment where you want to run the tasks.
Tableau Product
The name of the Tableau product to which you want to connect.
You can choose one of the following Tableau products to publish the TDE file:
  • - Tableau Desktop. Creates a TDE file in the Secure Agent machine. You can then manually import the TDE file to Tableau Desktop.
  • - Tableau Server. Publishes the generated TDE file to Tableau Server.
  • - Tableau Online. Publishes the generated TDE file to Tableau Online.
Connection URL
URL of Tableau Server or Tableau Online to which you want to publish the TDE file. The URL has the following format: http://<Host name of Tableau Server or Tableau Online>:<port>
User Name
User name of the Tableau Server or Tableau Online account.
Password
Password for the Tableau Server or Tableau Online account.
Content URL
The name of the site on Tableau Server or Tableau Online where you want to publish the TDE file.
Contact the Tableau administrator to provide the site name.
Template File Path
The path to a sample TDE file from where the Secure Agent imports the Tableau metadata.
Enter one of the following options for the template file path:
  • - Absolute path to the TDE file.
  • - Directory path for the TDE files.
  • - Empty directory path.
The path you specify for the template file becomes the default path for the target TDE file.
Note: Ensure that there is at least one .tde file in the template file path when you select the value of the Tableau Product connection property as Tableau Desktop.
If you do not specify a file path, the Secure Agent uses the following default file path for the target TDE file: <Secure Agent installation directory>/apps/Data_Integration_Server/<latest version>/bin/rtdm
