I am trying to utilize below tool to publish to Tableau Server, however, there is not much documentation as to how I am supposed to do it so I was wondering if someone could advise how best to use this tool or to even provide a sample workflow as to what should the input output be.
https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/PublishToTableauServer2-1/5f315ccd826fd309c4f75504
Right off the bat, I am also encountering this two issues (below):
- Error: PublishToTableauServer2.1 (13): Tableau Personal Access Token (PAT) REST API Authentication (334): Tool #8: expected end of tag 'META' at Line:1 and Column:140
- Error: PublishToTableauServer2.1 (13): TableauServer.UploadChunks (238): Iteration #1: Tool #11: Error transferring data: URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
I was wondering if the site for tableau server is default, should I leave it as blank, default or home?
Do let me know how if further information is required.
Best,
Nick

I'm using PublishToTableauServer in version 2-0, so maybe sth has changed in 2-1.
You can check how this macro authorizes with TS. I have such payload:
According to TS API documentation authorization with token should look like this:

Hi @Awesomeville , are you using On-Prem Tableau server or Cloud? Since you're asking about "default" site, I'd presume you have On-Prem, is that correct?
If you're using Cloud, you might want to try a new connector Tableau Output that can be found in Gallery. It brings plenty new features including PAC out of the box, so no code changes are required. A new version supporting On-Prem is expected in 2 months.
Try our Beta data connectors at https://bit.ly/3Ae8HgY
