Updating published data sources after switching to OAuth
Hello Data fam,
I have a bunch of published and workbook embedded data sources that use login/password credentials to connect to Snowflake. I am planning to changing the connection type to use OAuth instead. My question is what's the optimal way to change the connection type in all the data sources in Tableau server?
Can I change authentication method for published data source on tableau server either through UI or Tableau REST API? I saw an idea was submitted 9 years ago but there hasn't been any update since. Is there a workaround other than using desktop?
Here is our use case: Users publish snowflake data source with oauth authentication method and then site admin will edit the published data source on the server to change the authentication method from oauth to username/password using a service account. Site admin will have to download the data source to desktop, change authentication method and then republish. This causes inconvenience to our self-service creators because they will have to rely on site admins to publish their data sources. All published data sources must use service account credential due to our compliance standards.
We have a tableau server hosted in house. Tableau Server Version: 2020.4.1 (20204.21.0114.0916) 64-bit Windows single node as this is a small firm and has not been upgraded since 3 year.
We want to migrate to a new Windows Server 2022 and also upgrade the tableau server to the latest.
what is the best and most efficient way to achieve this without losing any data?
I just upgraded tableau server 2020.4 to 2023.3.14. My question is is there more stable version than this, should we upgrade further to some 2024 version?
Hi, we recently upgraded our on-prem Tableau Server from 2020.4 to 2023.3.14. Since we don’t upgrade often, we want to ensure we are on the most stable version that will serve us for the next 2–3 years with minimal issues. Should we consider upgrading to a newer version, such as 2024 or any upcoming LTS releases?
Our server hosts 50 users, runs on windows. Stability, security patches, and long-term support are our priorities. Any insights on the best version to settle on for long-term use would be appreciated!
