Tableau packaged workbook (twbx) metadata loader

Gourab

Hi,

We have created a process whereby an Alteryx app publishes a packaged workbook on to out Tableau Online Site.

We are able to upload the Tableau Online metadata which shows the packaged workbook details in Alteryx Connect.

We have also uploaded the metadata for the Alteryx workflow that did the publishing on Tableau Online. This used Tabcmd (tableau's native commandline). However, the nexus diagram in Connect is not showing any relationship between the Alteryx publishing workflow and the Tableau Online report. Is this not possible or am I doing something wrong?

Kind regards,

Gourab

Hi @Gourab ,

if you mean this macro https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/Publish-Tableau-Workbook/5ac4ee90826fd32cec14ef68 this is not currently supported for parsing the connection parameters into Connect.

If you are looking on the mentioned macro, from the metadata perspective it's not ideal:

<Configuration>
  <Value name="Text Box (59)">C:\Users\Ben Moss\Documents\Alteryx Projects\Upload Tableau Workbook\Superstore Analysis.twb</Value>
  <Value name="Text Box (78)">Example Workbook</Value>
  <Value name="Check Box (63)">True</Value>
  <Value name="Text Box (37)">https:\\tableau.mycompany.com</Value>
  <Value name="Text Box (39)">Default</Value>
  <Value name="Text Box (46)">Default</Value>
  <Value name="Text Box (41)" />
  <Value name="Text Box (43)" />
</Configuration>

We are currently supporting official Publish to Server tools instead.
