Automatic connection to Hive or Impala Server. Possible or not?

Oleksandr Kazakov Dec 16, 2015 8:55 AM

Hey Guys!

I am pretty new to Tableau and still exploring it. I was wondering if it is possible to connect to the Hive(Hive 2) or Impala servers automatically when Tableau starts rather then every time typing connection info manually?

Cheers!

P.S. I am using Cloudera ODBC drivers.

Well, if you create an extract then export the workbook as a packaged workbook (.twbx) then you don't have to worry about credentialing:

Now, if you are simply saving it as a regular workbook (.twb) then, no, prompting for db credentials is normal due to security within Tableau Desktop.
