You can set up a schedule that is Disabled, then trigger it programmatically with tabcmd runschedule. Individual extracts can be refreshed with tabcmd refreshextract. So typically, people do this by setting up a Windows Scheduled Task that calls a batch file with the tabcmd call in it, and they set it up to run however often they want it to run.

If you know how to write to the Tableau Server db then you could create a schedule then over-write the value in the public.schedules.minute_interval field:

Naturally this is unsupported by Tableau.

I have no idea how to over-write objects in the Postgre db nor how to even get that access

Hi All,

I want to ask 1 question regarding custom schedule . To create custom schedule do we need to have site administrator role, Can publisher role create 3rd of every month schedule.

To create a Schedule in the Tableau Server you need to be have a Server or Site Administrator role.

To create a Schedule on the server that is running Tableau Server you need to have the rights to create a Windows Task Scheduler task and execute tabcmd, however, those rights have nothing to do with Tableau Server roles but with computer User Accounts (Local Users and Groups)
