2. Create a Package for the refresh extract for the data source. It is necessary to create a package for each data source.

3. In the extract refresh package put the following information in the Production - PROD command

Using username and password:

Using personal access token:

• Identify the Execution Connection
• Establish the location of the python script in the command window, as well as the highlighted parameters that can be determined in the Tableau online server.
• NOTE, we highly recommend using Global Parameter to hide the password used in the command window for increased security

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Execution Example

• site url and site name

The site url and site name are established in the online path of the Tableau online server

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using username and password to sign into the tableau online server

• username and password

These parameters are used when signing into the Tableau online server

• Personal Access Token Name and Personal Access Token Secret

Steps to create access token for the tableau online server.

1. Name the Personal Access Token

2. 'Create New Token'

3. Copy the Personal Access Token Secret

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Data source name:

In the Tableau online server the name of the data source can be identified

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given that the python scripts have been located in C:\location\ the command for the Extract Refresh package will be as follows:

• Signing in with username and password

• Signing in with Personal Access Token

Finally save and deploy the package.

Command to copy.

Working directory: E:\Python36-32\ 

Command: E:\Python36-32\python.exe c:\path\refresh_tableau_online.py --user "username" --pw "password" --server "site url"  --site_name "site name" --personal_access_token_name "Token Name" --personal_access_token_secret "Token Secret" --datasource "Datasource Name"
