Tableau Server Download Data Source ((LINK))

Data access and refresh instructions: Includes the location of the underlying database server (whether on-premises or in the cloud), network paths for file-based data, security information such as credentials or access tokens, and related information.
Permissions: View or update permissions that specifywhich users or groups can connect to, modify,or download the data source. As mentioned at the beginning of this section, if this action is not available, the project permissions might be locked, and only the project leader or administrator can change permissions.
Delete: Deleting a data source affects workbooks that connect to the data source. Before you delete a data source, ensure that there are no workbooks that connect to the data source or edit the workbooks to use another data source.
After you connect to your data, use the Data Source page to set up the data source and prepare your data for analysis. There are many optional configurations that you can make before you begin your analysis. The configurations that you make on the Data Source page creates the data source that Tableau uses to interpret and interact with your data.
When the refresh occurs, what is actually happening? Is it refreshing the extract made in step 3 or is it looking back to the 3 individual .hyper files and refreshing those? Also the connection is to a network drive, but I thought I created an extract and published to server? So is my data source an extant of those 3 files or is it a live connection to the network drive?
I updated a report with embeded data, from SQL Server, to our company's Tableau Server. It worked perfectly. After that, the old SQL Server is going to be demised, thus I move all data to a new server, the database, schema and data are exactly the same, and update the data connection in my local reports. It still works well.
Then I publish it again with the same configuration. The publishion is successful. However, Tableau server shows error that the database can't be connected when I open the report. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
If you are working from a published data source and you change information, such as the server connection details, you should re-upload the new data source - you may wish to also delete the old data source to avoid confusion.
The issue is because the Tableau Server does not have access for extracting data from the new server. Our Tableau Server will need a new account for the new server to extract data I needed. Thus, I need to raise a ticket to create such account.
I am trying to publish a sheet to the tableau server so other people in my team can connect using the tableau desktop by logging into our tableau server. I was able to publish the sheet to the server as a data source, but am unable to connect to it again using the tableau desktop
After you configure the data you wish to visualize, you can publish the Data Source to a Tableau Server instance. In Tableau Desktop:
- Click Server -> Sign In.
- Enter the URL for your Tableau Server.
- Authenticate with Tableau Server credentials.
- Click Server -> Publish Data Source and select your data source.
- Click Publish.
- Select the Project, name the Data Source, and optionally add a description.
- Click Publish.
Note that workstation connected to the same server will be able to use the same source in Tableau Desktop, even if the driver isn't installed there. Also, workbooks created directly on Tableau Server (via the web interface) can use this source.
With the Data Source published to Tableau Server, you are ready to visualize Power BI XMLA data.
- Login to your Tableau Server instance.
- Connect to the remote source using the Search for Data -> Tableau Server in the Connect sidebar.
- Click the published Data Source.
- Click New Workbook.
- In the workbook, Power BI XMLA fields are listed as Dimensions and Measures, depending on the data type. The CData JDBC Driver discovers data types automatically, allowing you to leverage the powerful data processing and visualization features of Tableau.
- Drag a field from the Dimensions or Measures area to Rows or Columns. Tableau creates column or row headers.
- Select one of the chart types from the Show Me tab. Tableau displays the chart type that you selected.

With the Data Source published to Tableau Server, you are ready to visualize FreshBooks data.
- Login to your Tableau Server instance.
- Connect to the remote source using the Search for Data -> Tableau Server in the Connect sidebar.
- Click the published Data Source.
- Click New Workbook.
- In the workbook, FreshBooks fields are listed as Dimensions and Measures, depending on the data type. The CData Tableau Connector discovers data types automatically, allowing you to leverage the powerful data processing and visualization features of Tableau.

This article walks through the process of configuring a DSN on the client and server machines, publishing a data source for Sugar CRM to Tableau Server, and publishing an entire Workbook to Tableau Server (including the data source). If you publish a data source, you will be able to create new, refreshable workbooks in Tableau Server.
To create a data source or workbook in Tableau Desktop and publish the data source or workbook to Tableau server, you will need to configure a DSN on each machine (Desktop and Server), specifying connection properties and creating DSNs using the same name on each machine. Information for connecting to Sugar CRM follows, along with different instructions for configuring a DSN in Windows and Linux environments.
If you are installing the CData ODBC Driver for Sugar CRM in a Linux environment, the driver installation predefines a system DSN. You can modify the DSN by editing the system data sources file (/etc/odbc.ini) and defining the required connection properties.
With the connections to Sugar CRM data configured, you are ready to publish a Sugar CRM data source on Tableau, ready to be leveraged by users in your organization to create workbooks based on Sugar CRM data.
With a system DSN configured on the client (Tableau Desktop) machine and server (Tableau Server) machine, you can refresh workbooks connected to the Sugar CRM data source. From the Web interface for Tableau Sever, click Data -> (YOUR DATA SOURCE) -> Refresh.
With the Data Source published to Tableau Server, you are ready to visualize ShipStation data.
- Login to your Tableau Server instance.
- Connect to the remote source using the Search for Data -> Tableau Server in the Connect sidebar.
- Click the published Data Source.
- Click New Workbook.
- In the workbook, ShipStation fields are listed as Dimensions and Measures, depending on the data type. The CData Tableau Connector discovers data types automatically, allowing you to leverage the powerful data processing and visualization features of Tableau.
- Drag a field from the Dimensions or Measures area to Rows or Columns. Tableau creates column or row headers.
- Select one of the chart types from the Show Me tab. Tableau displays the chart type that you selected.
