  • [en] Input Data tool reads data as a Tableau Hyper data extract (HYPER) file. This tool supports only local files.

[en] Data Connection Manager

[en] The Tableau tools version 1.2.0 and later support Data Connection Manager for easier and safer storage of your credentials. Create a connection to Tableau and easily reuse the stored credentials in workflows that include the Tableau tools. Alteryx Server requires stored credentials to successfully run the published workflows.

[en] Enable AMP Engine

[en] Make sure you have the AMP engine enabled for the workflows which contain the Tableau tools version 1.2.0 and later.

[en] Limitations

[en] Login Options

[en] Tableau doesn’t support single sign-on or multi-factor authentication. Only sign in using a username and password or personal access tokens is supported. Personal access tokens are long-lived authentication tokens that allow you to run automation with Tableau REST APIs without requiring hard-coded credentials or interactive login.

[en] Tableau Output Tool Search

[en] You can only search in full names, so you need to provide a 'datasource name' instead of just a 'name'.

[en] Text Fields Read in as V_WString with the Maximum Size

[en] Since Designer version 2021.2, text fields read in .hyper files as V_WString with the max size to avoid data loss. To work around, you can use the Auto Field or Select tool before writing the data to any other format.
