How to save the output results to .tde file format

[aparanjith1]

Hi,

I am trying to output my results to .tde format so that I can use them in the Tableau desktop which is in another machine. I selected the file option in the output tool and specified a path where I saved a text file as .tde and selected the extension as .tde. But when I run the WF I am getting an error saying "File is not a DataEngine database"

Can someone help me in this?

Thanks!

Hi @aparanjith1,

From your screenshot below, it looks like you chose output option : 'Append to an Extract File' (Row 3 of the Options table in configuration). This will only work if the file already exists - your error message suggests that this tde does not already exist. To create a tde choose one of the two options below:

1.  Create Extract File *Note: This will only work the first time you run the workflow. For subsequent runs, you will need to change to overwrite or append depending on your desired functionality. 

2. Overwrite (Create if does not exist)
