tabcmd refresh single extract in a workbook

Kinnari Dholakia Apr 25, 2016 4:20 PM

Hi,

I have a project -> workbook -> multiple datasources in tableau.

I wanted to split the refresh of datasources. But each time I run tabcmd refreshextracts --project abc --workbook cde --datasource data it refreshes all the datasources under workbook cde not just one datasource.

Is there something I am missing? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,Kinnari

Hello Kinnari,

You could use tableau -refreshextract from the command line - Tableau Data Extract Command-Line Utility

This is how the visualizations for the Ideas Ideas and Crow's Nest are updated each day.

Hi,

I am using -refreshextract.
It refreshes all datasources in a workbook. I want to refresh individual datasource not all datasources.

Hey Kinnari,
Yes, you can now refresh a datasource independently in your workbook.

This command takes the name of the workbook or data source as it appears on the server, not the file name when it was published. Only an administrator or the owner of the workbook or data source is allowed to perform this operation.

tabcmd Commands - Refresh single datasource

Let me know if you need further assistance.
