1. Re: Scaling Tableau - Set Extract Priority Based on Duration
Nick Roush Dec 6, 2016 6:35 AM (in response to Mark Wu)This is awesome Mark! I have been manually prioritizing based on time and it is a huge pain when you have thousands of extracts to update.

Thanks much Mark Wu ,
Very helpful.
Just a few questions for you.
How many backgrounders do you have and what version of Tableau server are you running?

Andrew Macey Dec 6, 2016 4:24 PM (in response to Mark Wu)I still find a backgrounder utilization viz very useful for identifying offending sites Re: Viewing Tableau 9 Background Tasks Queued Getting users with long running jobs to use a Serial rather than Parallel schedule also helps to stop them hogging all the backgrounders.

Mark Wu Dec 6, 2016 7:35 PM (in response to Andrew Macey)I am on v10.0 with about 3,000 extracts per day and 40 backgrounders. tabadmin set backgrounder.sort_jobs_by_run_time_history_observable_hours must be a v10.0 new feature. I have not seen this set option at v9.2 admin guide or v9.3 admin guide but it shows the 1st time on v10 admin guide. I have not seen Tableau advertises this feature anywhere in official v10 new feature list. I think that this is another great big brother v10 new feature similar as Desktop license reporting. One more good reason to upgrade to v10 if you have not done so yet.
