I have a workflow that is supposed to launch a batch file that goes to a specific URL For tableau to force a refresh of the data connected to workbook.
If I run the batch file locally on the server it launches Chrome fine.
@echo off Title Start and Kill Internet Explorer Mode con cols=75 lines=5 & color 0B echo( echo Launching Dashboard... Start "" "chrome.exe" "https://tableauserver.ourcompany.com/t/HCC-Risk/views/GTD_AutoRefresh/Summary?:embed=yes&:linktarget=_self&:refresh" :: Sleep for 10 seconds, you can change the SleepTime variable set SleepTime=30 Timeout /T %SleepTime% /NoBreak>NUL Cls & Color 0C echo( echo Killing Internet Explorer Please wait for a while ... Taskkill /IM "chrome.exe" /F
However, when the workflow runs through the web interface on the server it says it ran successfully but I have no way to validate that the browser is opening as it isn't happening live on Server. Is there an easier way to accomplish this?
I need this URL to be opened every 12 hours.

Adam

Hey @aehrenwo
A couple of thoughts here...
I actually just started playing around the task scheduler. I was having trouble figuring out where it saved the task once I created it. I think I am good to go.
But thank you also for the option to check the refresh data on Tableau directly.
