Hi Tableau Gurus!!
I am Tableau Server admin with 7000+ published reports. We have a Self-Serve model where Publisher publish their own content. To have better control and check & balance on published content, I want to put a process in which we could periodically Identify all Published Data sources which do not have any associated Workbook i-e data source may be being Refreshed without being used.
Cleaning up these kind of data sources will definitely help us a lot by freeing up system resources.
I am feeling challenged to find how to get this info from workgroup/postgres db. Couldn’t find any relationship between Datasource and Workbooks.
Need something like following;
Data Source Name # of Workbooks (or Workbook name)
ABC 2 (or XYZ/XYZ1)
Can you please help us with this.
Thanks.
Syed.
Careful Syed,
Remember that the datasources may be used in local Tableau Desktop files as well!
I wonder if the backend PostGres database has access information? If so, that would catch desktop scenarios as well and thus may be a good place to start.
