Hi, so you suggest creating a hyper file(.yxmd extension) and then publishing it to the Tableau server using the Tableau output tool and Publish to Tableau server tool? Is there a way I can create a hyper file(.yxmd extension) and publish it to the Tableau server in the same workflow? Please let me know and can you please show me how?

Note: this tool https://help.alteryx.com/20223/designer/publish-tableau-server-tool is deprecated and you should use the Tableau output tool listed above

You can use the Output Tool to write a Tableau Data Extract (.tde) or Tableau Hyper Data Extract (.hyper) file, these can be used by your server. (See screen shot of example workflow).

If you want to publish directly to the Tableau server you should use the Tableau Output tool found on the community downloads, here https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Community-Gallery/Tableau-Output-Tool/ta-p/877902
