Publish to Tableau Server Macro - caching yxdb unique filename

[arnold_slabbekoorn]

We are running into errors on our scheduler if we have multipe workflows with the Publish to Tableau server macro running at the same time. The macro writes to a local yxdb file with a fixed naming convention and is locked if another workflow is using it at the same time.  We like to see if the cached filename TableauServer.Selection.ServerSite.yxdb can be made somehow unique.  

Error experience: 

Talking with support this is a known issue and needs Macro enhancement.

was this issue resolved - we are running into a similar error where it says 'Error creating the file ".<file path>\TableauServer.Selection.ServerSite.yxdb" Access is denied'

also wondering if you guys worked around this somehow ?

I run into the same issue and was able to resolve when running my workflow as Administrator.

Recently I also found out that if you disable "Save connection history" checkbox under "Connection" tab then it is also working with non-admin access.

Hey @KylieF - Looks like this is a bug which has been fixed with updates or administrator workaround, so can probably be moved or marked as implemented.

Thank you for the ping Joe!

I'll update this to implemented since this is an older idea from before we more clearly defined and separated bugs from ideas. But this issue has been corrected in all currently supported versions of Alteryx.
