Error Using "Publish to Tableau Server" Tool

Last week I successfully setup and published a workflow to our Tableau Server using the Alteryx-developed "Publish to Tableau Server" macro. Well, this week I updated the underlying data in the workflow and attempted to publish an update and I received an error message about "Expected end of tag 'meta' at..." Here is a screenshot:

I would appreciate any thoughts as I have tried everything I can think of including uninstalling and reinstalling the tool, changing the project name, using a different datasource name - all to no success. Thank you!

Hi Russell,

This error is an issue with login. Things to check are:

- Credentials

- SSL, check whether the server is HTTP or HTTPS

- You mention 'publish', so if this is to Scheduler or Gallery, check the credentials of the user under "System Settings > Worker > Run As" as well.

@MacRo may be able to provide a little more information, but if the above does not point to a reason, then try clientservices to see if they have any help.

Any chance your Tableau Server login credentials include special characters?

Thanks Kane. You are correct - it was a login issue. There were some proxy settings that weren't letting me connect to our Tableau Server (it also impacted accessing Server within Tableau's desktop utility). Once we corrected those, the workflow ran flawlessly.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Paul - unfortunately no special characters in my login credentials. Turned out to be proxy settings.

Kane,
I've configured tool, but face to the same issue. We are using HTTPS protocol

We ran into this error at a client and the root cause turned out to be more than one user accessing the same Publish to Tableau Server macro from one location. We created a separate copy for each user and the issue went away.
