Connect with the tableau server database

Praveen Swa Mar 14, 2016 3:36 AM

Hi ALL,

I have a new requirement where I have to get details of all the databases into one where I have to create a report on how many of the users have viewed each of the reports by providing the view count. In the other words have to display the stats of all the reports from different databases in one report. It is possible as I have seen someone do but I am not able to get it done. Can anyone help me with this on how to do this.

you can do this by three steps:

1. Enable readonly access to the internal PG database Enabling External Access to the Tableau Server Database

2. Learn about the data you need to get the job done Workgroups Database

We use historical_events a bunch for understanding the views and user patterns. And you can join up to hist_event_types to find the event type of "Access"
