Tableau Server Extract Refresh Now
The Tableau Server Extract Refresh Now job from InterWorks gives you the ability to refresh your Tableau Server Extracts at the end of a Matillion ETL orchestration job.
It uses functionality from the Tableau Server REST API, and requires an existing published extract to refresh.
For Tableau Server, to specify the default site, omit contentUrl from the site element, or make the contentUrl value an empty string (contentUrl="").
For Tableau Online, a sign in request must have a site element containing a contentUrl with the value of an existing site. If these are missing, the Sign In request will fail.
If you have questions or would like to discuss extending the functionality across the REST API, please reach out to InterWorks.
