Alteryx Server usage report: Tableau cannot open Tableau Data Extract created by Alteryx

jsoler

Hi,

I download the workflow that makes a report of the Alteryx server usage, the output of this workflow can be a PDF or a Tableau report. Choosing the Tableau option, I got two main files: tableau workbook and tableau data extract (tde).

 

I can open the tableau workbook using Tableau Desktop, but it is crashing because it is not able to open the datasource (which is the tde). Then I decide to open directly the tde, but it crashes againg. 

 

alteryx version: 2019.1

Tableau version: 2019.1

 

Then, does anybody suceed opening the Alteryx Server usage with Tableau? If so, what am I missing?

 

Thanks a lot,

Make sure you downloaded the version of the Alteryx Server Usage Report that matches your server. I made that mistake earlier today.

Maybe Tableau doesn't have the right permissions on the output folder ... try moving the file to another location?
