I was going to check the tabadmin SET options in the Tableau Administrator's Guide but it looks like the site maintenance has taken an early start

The only other option I can think of is by using a .tdc file (Tableau Data Customization file). Anything I know about this can be found via a Community search.

Glauber Ribeiro Nov 3, 2015 2:02 PM (in response to Toby Erkson)That's an excellent idea! I often forget TDCs. However, I don't think it's there either (I just looked). TDCs tell Tableau how to connect, but nothing about what to do with the connection after it's established.

John Kuo Nov 4, 2015 4:47 PM (in response to Glauber Ribeiro)Currently it's not possible to set connection time from Tableau side. However, you may be able to do it from the databse side.

Glauber Ribeiro Nov 4, 2015 6:00 PM (in response to John Kuo)This matches what I heard from Tableau Support this morning (the forum seemed to be down then).
Stopping the connection from the database side is doable but probably not a good idea, unless it's an emergency, because it will probably cause users to see Tableau Server error messages.
