Hi,
I'm trying to create automated process for refreshing published Tableau data sources using REST API. Unfortunately, I'm failing at triggering that action.
I have the following configuration:
After run in such configuration, I receive this message: {"error":{"summary":"Bad Request","detail":"Payload is either malformed or incomplete","code":"400000"}}. I tried many different configurations, but it didn't help. Although this error indicate that the request body is incorrect, in the Tableau documentation it is written that it need no attributes in the body.
Any idea what might be incorrect?
Thank you in advance!

Friend of mine helped me to find the error. Instead of having accept header, we must include Content-Type with value of 'application/xml'.
Case closed.
